Tagential, but does the Baltimore Banner pay by the word?

>The area around McGrath’s Raffia Preserve home in Naples is quiet, a gated community off a main road that features new-build strip malls with restaurants such as Five Guys and Dunkin’ Donuts. Inside the community, the exterior of McGrath’s house was quiet, with no police presence.

>A large, wood-paneled courtroom was set for the trial. Clipboards with jury questionnaire answer sheets were set out at dozens of auditorium-style seats.

I doubt they pay by the word. There have been other comments on here about the vivid writing at the Banner -- I don't subscribe and cannot comment on anything other than what's been quoted on reddit, but what I've seen is indicative of a more narrative style of writing. It's a choice one might not expect from a news organization, but that doesn't make it wrong.
