The company that did the survey wants publicity and send a news release to reporters and editors.

they are probably specialized in that area and have all their resources geared those type of things such as a survey for health. The reporter may have contacts and other sources directly related to health and have access to health survey as they come out.

Reuters and the foreign press. Stories are constantly being gathered and put on one of these two reels. The reporters pick and choose which stories they want. If it is something especially hot, they will send a reporter of their own out there.

They receive news releases, primarily. Reporters and editors are also constantly reading publications for story ideas.
