Should a novice writer in a private newspaper has financial incentives for her/his first published articles?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Don't expect financial incentives until you're established.
