Why don't you simply collect adresses of freelancing journalists,
editors, journals, news papers, and other media who wrote about Linux
and/or GNOME before? You would then be able to sent press releases to
them, by email for example. See for example [1].

A more tricky question is to find out who's responsible about
Linux/Open Source stories within a journal. A simple and polite email or
a phone call should do it. If you get no response, well, you just found
a journalist who doesn't care about new stories, or contacts. No need to
mind about somebody like this.
