Demand Media is a successful and somewhat controversial firm in the online content creation space. They employ thousands of freelance journalists who in turn produce thousands of search friendly articles on a daily basis.
While not everyone agrees with their approach to content creation, their results are quite good. Demand Media sites in total reach 81 million unique users, making them the 16th largest web company.
According to Media Week, Demand Media is planning on greatly expanding their army of freelance writers by targeting even more niche spaces. According to their website, their new Talents and Experts Network"provides opportunities for established and emerging talent to publicly establish their professional reputation and expand their online brands."
Journalism is quickly moving to an almost fully freelance model - which explains the freelance camp for journalists being held at Stanford later this month.
