Did any public media solicit her for publication in contest with Apple?

  No idea but probably not. I'm not saying Malala was deliberately chasing a payday or anything. More that it's a shame that public media can't put together a show like this so it ends up with the world's biggest corporation. Not anyone's fault in particular, just an unfortunate state of affairs.

    It's tough to say what the new Apple TV+ programming with Malala is going to actually be like, but programming coming from one person's production company and relying on that one person's persona is quite possibly not a great fit for public media. On the other hand, it's quite possible some of the content will end up being licensed to play on PBS or something. Right now it's anyone's guess.

    > just an unfortunate state of affairs Why do you think a state-sponsored broadcaster would have been equally likely to pick up this content? Self-interested companies don’t have geopolitical concerns.

      Public media isn't necessarily state-sponsored. American public media only gets the occasional grant from the CPB which is a private non-profit that gets money from Congress. Most of it is funded by donations.
