How to Reach the Dallas Morning News: A Guide for the Perplexed (and Possibly Pigeon-Costumed)
Ah, the Dallas Morning News! A bastion of journalistic integrity, a font of local wisdom, and...well, sometimes a bit of a mystery when it comes to contacting them. Fear not, fellow citizen, for I, your friendly neighborhood internet sleuth (who may or may not be wearing a slightly-too-small pigeon costume under this trench coat), am here to guide you through the labyrinth of communication with the esteemed DMN.
Calling in the Cavalry (or at Least Customer Service)
For those who prefer a good old-fashioned chat, fret no more! The DMN boasts a customer service line that can be reached at 1-800-925-1500. Now, this might seem straightforward, but here's a word to the wise: be prepared for some hold music that could rival a particularly enthusiastic mariachi band. Just picture yourself on a mental vacation to sunny Cancun while the catchy (or excruciating, depending on your mood) tunes wash over you.
Pro-Tip: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, consider calling during their off-peak hours. Tuesdays at 2:14 pm specifically seem statistically less busy (although this information may have come from a particularly chatty pigeon I befriended).
Let Your Fingers Do the Talking (Typing, Actually)
Perhaps you're a keyboard warrior, a wordsmith extraordinaire? The DMN understands your digital prowess! Unfortunately, there isn't a publicly listed email address for general inquiries. However, depending on your reason for reaching out, there might be a more specific route.

Subscription Shenanigans? If your subscription has gone rogue (or perhaps you've misplaced your carrier pigeon delivering the paper), then https://join.dallasnews.com/ is your one-stop shop. Here you can manage your account, make payments, and hopefully get your daily dose of news flowing smoothly once more.
Social Butterfly Blues? The DMN Has Your Back (Maybe)
The DMN does have a presence on various social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. While they may not be the most responsive avenue for contacting them directly, you can try sending them a message. Just be prepared for the possibility of a virtual tumbleweed rolling by in response.
However! Social media can be a great way to stay up-to-date on breaking news and engage with the DMN's content. So, follow them, like their posts, and maybe, just maybe, a friendly social media manager will take pity on your plight (and pigeon costume, if applicable).
There you have it, folks! A (hopefully) comprehensive and slightly humorous guide to contacting the Dallas Morning News. Remember, persistence is key, and a good sense of humor (and maybe some pigeon-based bribery) can go a long way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a very important news source – a particularly chatty squirrel with inside information on the upcoming city council election (allegedly).
