One of the most standard outlets for press releases is PR Newswire. It costs some money to put it on there, but we can investigate the cost and see if it's worth it.
I once paid $1200 for a press release about Nupedia that ended up being basically a waste of money.
Of course, as Wikipedia gets bigger and has name recognition already, a press release can be more powerful. If a release on PR Newswire gets it in front of journalists who are interested anyway, that's likely to generate a fair amount of follow-on interest.
