In my country, I would write to the largest tech news site and co-author a press release with one of their reporters after having met them in person (perhaps after selecting them or having them recommended). I would make some professor comment on it as well as myself with the title of security professional or researcher, perhaps just your name and your company name. In fact, I'd try to get a researcher from a group that does "democratic technology" (DemTech.dk). They have been advising in other countries, too. If it catches the mainstream, let myself interview in the tabloids. If not, I don't know if contacting them has any unwanted effects, but I'd probably do it out of desparation. Then I would ally with the local watchdog political party to run this as one of their issues, just because their faces are popular. The last part may collide with building a reputation as an independent researcher.
