Harm de Blij had made the most strides in the news venues (as open geography) but of course in an old school kinda way. I would say most of us geographers (especially in the states) are in hiding. One of my favourite defections to the geography side however is Jared Diamond but he is not in the media but rather an excellent author and scholar.
