Requirements

Not a directory — coverage is earned editorial; no submission form or listing product found on public pages
ZDNET (Ziff Davis) covers enterprise + consumer tech: software/services, business, security, AI, reviews
Pitch route is individual writers — the About page links to 'meet the team' with named contributing writers and their beats
Paid visibility exists only as advertising ('advertise with us' / media kit) — editorial opinions explicitly 'not for sale'

A B2B/enterprise-tech or consumer-tech angle — ZDNET skews IT decision-makers and early adopters
Identify the right writer from the team page rather than a generic inbox
Press kit or review access if pitching a product review

Open https://www.zdnet.com/about/ and follow 'meet the team' to find the writer covering your beat
Pitch that writer directly — ZDNET author pages list bios and contact/social links
For paid routes, use the 'advertise with us' link — but that is media buying, not editorial coverage
Coverage, if it happens, is a staff/contributor-written article — no listing page is created

zdnet.com/contact is not a contact page — it resolves to a 2009 article; do not trust stale 'contact' URLs from source lists
The catalog's stored website path (/blog) is also stale — use zdnet.com directly
Contributed-article options were not found on public pages — do not assume a guest-post program exists
Review coverage requires a real product; 'best X' listicles are staff-curated, not submitted

A ZDNET article or review mentioning the product is published at zdnet.com
