Adrian Holovaty has been documenting his daily search to find the actual email address of those responsible for various news sites. Illuminating, both for his effort to write down why he follows certain paths in his investigation and for the lack of success he’s had to date. His most recent effort was at NYTimes.com, and while it took a while, he eventually found the information — but only after following instructions to send a blank email to a specific address, which triggered a reply email with a very detailed contact list. He found this a perfectly acceptable solution in this day and age of the spam tsunami. The cat is out of the bag at work (email addresses have been public for some time now), but maybe something to learn from here.
