I doubt it. The osnews staff has repeatedly made clear (with a certain amount of hostility I might add) that:

1.) They don't want to pay people for contributions. Apparently the editors aren't even being paid.
2.) They don't want to release any financial information.

Personally, I find it somewhat astounding that a for profit company is soliciting donations at all. If osnews was an NPO, I'd have no problem with it, but they aren't. Where's the money going? Would I be spending time writing articles to fund someone's big screen tv? (my guess is that I wouldn't, but without any financial information how can I be sure?)
