I don't think anyone's suggesting that a niche site (with, a no doubt, devoted audience) like ATC should be forced to compete with major publications when it comes to compensation. But, HuffPo isn't some startup blog. They had nearly $150 million in revenue last year. It's true that they broke even, but I'm sure the editors get paid. I'm sure the executives on the HuffPo/AOL business side - marketers, digital developers, advertising sales reps etc - get compensated. If they can't find a way to pay contributors - ones whom they've solicited as opposed to ones who submit their own work for consideration - perhaps they need to reduce some of their expenditures on the administrative side of the business.
