I wrote a letter with the intent to send it to NPR - how can I get it in front of the right people?

I wrote a letter to NPR - it's sort of an editorial/letter to the editor. I shared it in a professional Facebook group that I'm in, and lo, it has now been adapted and co-signed by 250+ other people in my field. I hit a snag when I found out that the only way to contact anyone directly is via Twitter, and I haven't had much luck getting engagement this way.

They have a public editor, and I sent a message, but it is a text box, and I am not able to send a PDF copy of the letter. I have tweeted at the newscaster in question, as well as the person listed as the news editor (Nancy Barnes), and I DMed the Health and Science editor. Are there any other strategies that people have for contacting these folks?

(Essentially, it's a letter taking issue with how RBG's death was initially covered in the top of the hour newscasts, and takes aim at the language that the media uses when a public figure dies of cancer.)
