Details here; briefly:

The initiative aims to increase the presence of philosophy in print, audio, and video media by training philosophers to write and produce for the public and by connecting philosophers to editors and commissioners in the media industry.

For the first stage of the initiative, up to 30 philosophers will be selected to be MSF Media Fellows. Fellows will receive workshop training, connection to industry professionals, and a $1500 honorarium.

I just hope that, unlike so much "public" philosophy, this program attracts some good philosophers.

(Thanks to Barry Lam, whose podcasts are a nice example of succcesful public philosophy, for the pointer.)
