This is a very naive position. Snowden did you Tor[1] to communicate with Greenwald et al. In a sense, the "initial contact" dilemma is a very universal problem indeed, and one which is ignored by many proposed *-systems that naively assume some kind of PKI[2] is already in place. Or, if you're referring to the overall premise of Wikileaks etc., there are ongoing efforts[3] to abstract the process so that there would be a (in a sense, market-)place for whistleblowers to pick journalists who will receive their info.
