As it says!
When something outrageous happens and somebody declares, 'go to the papers!', How do you actually do it? I mean, how and who do you approach with the issue?

Would really like to know! Actually googled it but it just came up with how to write a paperGrin

Journalist here.

News desks numbers easy to find online plus we put details on twitter.

But each of the papers has a similar page with an email. Or twitter, especially if you tweet a journo who writes similar stories to the one you have.

Google around the topic in question and/or search the topic via news sites and you'll come up with various articles. Contact authors of those articles.

Local or national? I know a few local journalists so would prob get in touch through Twitter.

You phone the newspaper number and ask to speak to the news desk.
