Would you work for free?
I do not know how The Washington Post thinks they can get away with this:
“Five weeks ago, I received an unsolicited offer from the Washington Post. They asked if they could post my picture and biography on their website and link to every new blog post appearing here if I agreed to produce regular original content for them at their request. I turned them down. Why?

It’s not worth the clips or hits (if you even get more; see the article for more) and it’s exploitation, plain and simple. Three cheers to MPW for publicizing this bogus-ness.
