No, You Don't Have to Have "Contacts" At a Publication in Order To Pitch Your Story and Get Media Coverage
No, you don't have a relationship or contacts with at a publication to successfully pitch your story.
Because of the volume of pitches, many publications like the one above requires you to fill out a form.
What you need is a compelling story and reason the journalist would pay attention.
Hint: rather than blindly pitch, read the journalist's body of work so you can understand what they write about and what their interests are.
