I don't find anything there specifically addressing the media, but the site
belongs to the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, and at the bottom it
says:

Direct questions via email to Corinna Vecsey Wilson, corinnaw@pa-news.org,
or call her at 717-703-3078

Perhaps that would be a good route to take.
