If somebody is sending his/her articles to a private newspaper, should he expect financial incentives regarding his/her journalistic contributions? There is no contract, no prior promises of financial reward, and the newspaper can cancel these articles, I mean they don't have to accept his articles. Should he receive any charges or financial incentives for his/her first articles on a private newspaper or he should wait to publish many articles and after that ask them for financial rewards? What could be the system of financial grants in private newspapers for novice writers?

First of all, learn to use the proper words in the right place.
Nobody would pay to read something they can't quite understand.
In the second place, never ask them for money, unless you are offered a promotion.
They are giving you a chance to be published for free.
Many writers have to pay to publish until they are recognized as interesting enough to be hired by a firm.

If the writer has established himself by publishing professional articles/essays then the writer should be paid. If the writer is a newbie, he shouldn't be paid. If his writing is good enough eventually he will earn money.
