We only ship things to those lists. Most of the media who pay attention 
are subscribed to at least announce list, though many are also 
subscribed to the marketing list as well for news.

The press at fp.o mailing address is basically "incoming only."

Direct outreach/contact has always been handled by someone at RHT in the 
PR department, in conjunction with the FPL, because they have the 
extensive database of contacts and etc. that is meticulously pruned and 
kept up to date, have access to press wire, etc.
