Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Jimmy, I would say Anthony's second direction would be the route I would go. If you are paying your writers, ultimately your goal is to get some ROI somewhere down the line, right ? Although people will search for journalism freelance writers ect, when you search for journalism or freelance writers you get job postings. You really want to build your subscriber base and readers and not attract more writers. Ranking for keywords like news is probably harder to rank  but if and when you do, I think you'll be better off for it. S&M
