I actually don't mind this idea. Although I think I disagree with your comments about people ignoring the stat analysis of the newer guys...guys like Issa, Steg, TVC, Syl, and now Mag are all still relatively new (in comparison to the S1 guys) and are doing amazing things with the sim. That being said, I'll admit that I don't read a lot of media. I do enough reading in my own personal life these days.
But to address @37thchamber's point about limiting user freedom, I wonder if a better option would be to increase the payout of stat analysis and other content more relevant to the league rather than decrease the payout of player "stories".
But honestly I think the better solution would be to have media graders be a little more strict with what you'll get paid for. If only 10% of your writing is even remotely related to the league, then maybe you shouldn't be getting paid 100%. So allow graders to use a little more deference in reducing pay in those instances. I'm not saying to make them actual graders like graphics has done because I've been against the grading system there since it was implemented. But ensuring at least topic content seems reasonable.
