If you're applying to jobs in publishing, you will get light-years farther sending your resume through a contact, as opposed to via their normal submission email/website. If you want to send me your resume and cover letter, I might be able to offer suggestions, and my mom might know some publishing folks we can pass it on to.
If you're applying to media/entertainment companies (where you don't know a good contact), I'm told you can get better results by FedExing a hard copy of your resume and cover letter to the hiring manager/HR person in charge of the job. Even if they claim "apply by email only."
