How much you are paid per article is based on quality,research and also marketability of the article. I have been with AC for about 3 years now and enjoy publishing articles there.

CurrentTV: If you want to break it into broadcast media then you should definitely try positing your videos at CurrentTV. If your clip is selected, it is played on CurrentTV’s channel, which is a pay channel like HBO. I have posted couple of videos there and got good feedback. They also solicit videos on certain themes and issues and if your video is selected to be played on TV you get paid. Not bad for an aspiring journalist.
