This is a very naive position. Snowden did you Tor[1] to communicate
with Greenwald et al. In a sense, the "initial contact" dilemma is a
very universal problem indeed, and one which is ignored by many
proposed *-systems that naively assume some kind of PKI[2] is already
in place.
Or, if you're referring to the overall premise of Wikileaks etc.,
there are ongoing efforts[3] to abstract the process so that there
would be a (in a sense, market-)place for whistleblowers to pick
journalists who will receive their info.
