I've got several dozen scientists and journalists ranging from respectable to prominent signed up for Project PM's Science Journalism Program. For the most part we're going to be trying to place the more accurate and relevant articles that the chosen pairs will produce at various mags and newspapers, but was also wondering if you might have an interest in running some of those to which the authors retain reprint writes or which don't get placed in a timely fashion elsewhere; we're asking them to donate ten percent of what they make off articles to our Africa Development Project fund, which will pay for experimental "viral" techniques to ensure that critical health information (and sometimes services) are available to more rural Africans in particular. We've partnered with a researcher at Cambridge on the latter as he's now seeking grant money for a similar program with which we'll be assisting in various capacities.
Let me know if this is something you might have an interest in. Also, if you know any editors who might be interested in looking at what our scientist-journalist pairs produce, please let me know when you have a moment.
