I started writing for NewsBreak on 10/28. I can verify that I have been paid 1,000 for November and am set to receive another payment for December. What is very unclear at this point is how they arrive at calculations. Kinda like Medium. But the way NewsBreak frames it it seems as if it's an all or nothing thing. Either you meet their requirements and make a ;east a thousand bucks, or you get zero. I guess they'll flesh this out. But they are absolutely paying. It's pretty clear in dealing with their support that they're not sure either.
