I just read an interesting article from Marketing Sherpa about how to effectively pitch a news story to New York Times advertising columnist Stuart Elliott. The article gives some good tips that can apply to pitching any columnist in general. One thing I found interesting was a note at the end of the article that read:
Note: Interested in reaching another editor at the Times? Email web-editor(at)nytimes(dot)com and someone will get back to you if a follow-up is necessary.
If you want to contact someone specific at The New York Times or NYTimes.com, send a blank message to staff(at)nytimes(dot)com for an automated response containing the e-mail addresses of New York Times staffers available to the public.
I tried sending a blank e-mail to staff(at)nytimes(dot)com as is suggested in the note and got a list of what is probably over 100 e-mails of staff of at the New York Times in reply along with each of their positions.

My name is Edik and I’m cartoonist

Thanks for your Help

If the contact you are looking for is not on the list you receive that means their information is not public, and I don’t know how you would be able to get the right contact. If I were you I would try contacting the person on the list that seems like they are in a position to help you the most and if they can’t help you they can probably at least still pass your information on to the right person.
