It is possible to make contact with all of the large news organisations. Ask for the “news desk” If quizzed by the operator about the nature of the call, simply say you have a news tip regarding the X incident. Dont be ratty as they will be under pressure.Far more productive than posting here. I would go as far as to say that if you are highly experienced on type, calling them immediately after an accident to offer your expertise is likely to improve the quality of reporting and so help the aviation community. Perhaps there is a role for an aviation related association to be a go to? In the early stages joiurnos need to fill column inches, it is just as easy to fill with educational facts than speculation.
