User-generated content site links writers, publishers

Helium, a “citizen journalism” site, launched a Marketplace where publishers can list “bounties” for articles. Then authors submit the stories, which are ranked by peer reviews. Payment for the articles range from $20 to more than $100, with Helium pocketing a 20 percent commission.

Helium has been piloting Marketplace for the past few months with 14 publishers offering about 10 bounties each. Next month, more than 1,000 publishers will participate, according to TechCrunch.
