$5 per article? Guess it's not asking for free work.
What RonClements said.

Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan made a better offer to these guys

Content for what? Is it a website? Exactly what is it?

Sounds a bit like Demand Media Studios, which employed just about every laid-off/bought-out newspaper copy editor on the market (including yours truly) seven/eight years ago. It was a go-to site for "how-to" articles such as "How to Remove a Cat Vomit Stain" (yes, that was an actual title).

And you're not going to give us the answer?

My recollection is that you had to use some noxious combination of ammonia and lemon juice, or maybe it was white vinegar and lemon juice. Was a case of the cure being almost as bad as the disease.

Sharecroppers in 1950 had better options than this.

Scott,
Is this a sports copy-editing job for a newspaper or website or both?

 

[ScottCooley]

Thank you to all who have replied. I have personally responded to each applicant, and we have whittled down the large candidate pool to a select few. Please consider this position filled. We will not be accepting any more applications after the date and time of this post.

 

[Dailyconvo]

Maybe the person who gets it will tell the class what it was?

 

[MiamiBoy]

Best job post of the year. The closing of acceptance of applications sealed it.

 

[apeman33]

Announced on Tuesday, closed by Friday? I doubt the candidate pool was "large."

 

[Doc Holliday]

Damn, I got in on this too late. I will never forgive myself.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Good lord, $5 to edit a 1,000-word piece? Did you actually mean edit or just run spellcheck?

 

[cjericho]

But it's a light load of 50-75 per week, and I'm sure very little editing is needed.

 

[Ice9]

I will bet $5 that you get paid your $5 per edit or whatever through Venmo
