Currently you'll either get $500K or $1M for writing articles. And at that the GM gets to grade his own work. It just doesn't seem worth my time to even do my top prospect articles for a crummy $1M. Other leagues offer a much wider spectrum of compensation. With those leagues seeming to max out around what the cost of winterball would be, I think things need to change.
$1M to $10M
Grammar, league interest, and overall quality would be the deciding factors. $1M might be a real short article that's only team oriented. $5M would be a solid, but not great article. $10M would be one that could interest many people and really add something to the league. I would say two or three Mods should "grade" each article and the average grade is used as compensation.
I would think this would raise the interest in writing articles, which creates activity and more activity is always good in leagues.
