I find they are often delighted to get a press release, and are especially likely to publish it if it's accompanied by a digital photo. Keep any contact names of Editors or Journalists for future reference, so that in future you can direct a press release to an individual rather just an editor@paper.ie address. It's also worth approaching the journalists you already know and asking them if they have ideas of other contacts who might be interested in what you are doing.
