I found this rather peculiar form of email address (for Patricia Wilson) at forbes.com, plus a phone no.: +1 202-898-8300

I had little idea how to research this one (with no name given), but I did find this, for Reuters Washington news editor:
TRY: todd.eastham@reuters.com
And I found it in a most peculiar way, via a Right to Life campaign against Eastman for some rough remarks he sent in reply to a Right to Life email to him--a quite interesting tale, found at:
http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/pba/Reutersquestioned.htmlUnfortunately, the Right to Lifers might have cost Eastman his job! I don’t know if he’s still the DC news editor for Reuters.
I also found David Schlesinger, who used to be chief editor for Reuters America, but seems to have been bumped up to Global Managing Editor and Head of Editorial Operations in 2003 (less involved in day to day news), but would probably be worth sending election fraud stories to, if we can find his email address (haven't found it yet).
The Right to Lifers described Schlesinger's new job title as "the ‘news’ service’s global managing editor." Note that the RtoL’S put “news” into inverted commas when referring to Reuter’s news service. That is a sign of loathing. And I see, from other RtoL text that they have a particular hatred of Reuters.
I wonder if there is any connection between the RtoL’s bile against Reuters and the high death rate of Reuters reporters killed in Iraq!

“All of them have been killed by the American army.” --David Schlesinger
LISBON, Nov 18: The global managing editor of British news provider Reuters said on Thursday the US military was entirely to blame for the deaths of three of its employees in Iraq since the start of the war there in March 2003, an allegation disputed by the Pentagon.
"All of them were killed by the American army," Reuters chief David Schlesinger told reporters on the sidelines of a media conference in the southern Portuguese resort of Vilamoura, national news agency Lusa reported.
"There is no understanding on the part of the US military regarding the exercise of journalism," he added according to the agency.
"We can't run the risk that journalists will become targets (in Iraq). We must learn the lessons from these tragic cases."
Two Reuters photographers and a cameraman are among the more than 60 war-related deaths of media workers recorded in Iraq.
The most recent death occurred in the Iraqi city of Ramadi on November 1.
The US military says a cameraman killed there while on assignment for Reuters died in a gunbattle between Marines and militants, but the Iraqi man's colleagues and family have said they believe he was shot by a US sniper.
Another Reuters cameraman, a Ukrainian citizen, was killed in April 2003 when a US Army tank fired on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad.
A cameraman from Spain's Telecinco television network was also killed in the strike, which injured three other reporters.
In October 2003 a Palestinian cameraman for Reuters was killed near Abu Ghraib prison during a shootout.
The US military has denied direct responsibility for those deaths as well.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told the media conference via satellite from Washington that those incidents were inevitable in a war.
He put the blame for the two deaths at the Palestine Hotel on Iraqi troops resisting the US invasion, whom he accused of using civilian structures for military purposes, leading to confusion about what is a legitimate target.-AFP

But, before you get too sympathetic to Reuters, Reuters has begun outsourcing many analyst and even reporting jobs to Bangalore, India, for the cheaper wages, and Reuters staff in England are seriously considering a strike against the company.
