It can be appropriate to report something bad with only anonymous sources. Sometimes it's all you have, and you feel a great wrong has Ben done. But one needs to be careful, careful to be sure you're right, careful to avoid sending a sloppy message. Ben slipped on the second,. Furthermore, by reporting anonymous details and especially when adding commentary and opinion, and using details you actively sought out, you are not just a messenger or anonymizer. You are is reporter, and youre placing your own reputation on the line. I wish you luck, Ben.
Personally, I know two people who have freelanced for MWP. One has posted above that they were paid promptly. Another has not, but I know they have been paid. I know this because I asked them if they were frustrated that something they has written was behind schedule by months. They joked that they didn't care; they has been paid months earlier.
This is slightly older information. I can't say if things have changed since.
