HuffPo Bloggers Make 'Meh' Statement On Writing For Free

Most bloggers writing for The Huffington Post believe that they should be paid, but even more say they’ll keep writing for the site regardless of whether they get any cash for their contributions.

Oh, okay then.

The results come from a new survey by the Media Industries Project of the Carsey-Wolf Center at UC Santa Barbara, which reached out to 60 Huffington Post bloggers to ask them how they felt about Arianna’s payday. Just 26 responded, which is a small sample size, but the bloggers were some of the most prominent on the site, the researchers said.

The results, according to the MIP:

• Ninety-six percent of those surveyed believe that their postings are equal to or more valuable than contributions made by paid editors and curators at HuffPo.
