Thanks for asking!
I've grouped the offerings into a categorized list. Where appropriate,
I've included comments about what is available from these selected
sites, especially those which require registration for full access.
The multimedia directories are the best sources of individual contact
information for editors, tv shows, cable networks, and many magazines.
Yahoo Directory and the Open Directory Project (dmoz.org) human edited
directory offer many relevant categories of reviewed links to a
variety of media outlets. I've included a number of Yahoo and ODP
pages in the appropriate categories.

MEDIA POST offers a Media-Knowledge Base Directory with over 60,000+
media and agency contacts, resource links, events, news and
classified's, a contact list manager, and web based PR tools. Requires

directory. The Internet Sites By Category list also includes links to
many portal sites.

PUB LIST -- Requires free registration. Currently undergoing
renovation, only keyword search of Titles is available. Judicious use
of selected keywords can yield results that list many alternative,
trade, and narrowly focused publications. My results "expired" after a
time, you'll need to use the search box on the home page yourself for
terms such as:
women, entertainment, home, fashion, food, wine
Individual records offer titles, publishers, and additional info
including email addresses, mail, phone and fax contact numbers, and
editor names.
