Yes, but $50 in exchange for 300-400 words and a small slice of your credibility isn't a good trade.

However, if they don't have to put their names on the article then you're right, it is a good deal.

It depends if they're writing crap that's below their station. If you're getting a heavy investigative journalist to pump out this stuff, it could hurt their credibility. If it's just a niche expert pumping out small news pieces that have some small insight behind it, I can't see how it could hurt.
