Spain: CitJ provokes "total change of philosophy" for paper

16,000. That's the number of submissions by readers that the Spanish daily El Correo has received since opening its pages to los lectores. EnlaCe, the name of the initiative, solicits various types of contributions, from riddles to photos, and uses the best in a two-page section in between the national and international sections of the paper's print edition.
A team of five journalists sorts through and edits the reader content, which is printed every Monday through Saturday, the Sunday edition being reserved for contributions from young readers.
Readers can submit via snail mail, email, telephone, SMS or through the paper's website.

Great. But couple of qu's. You don't say when the paper opened up this section to reader contributions? Do contributors get paid?
Mind you, if you have 16,000 submissions coming in, presumably for free, do they even need to offer a payment?
The paper opened up the section in January. As of now the paper does not pay its citizen contributors. I don't know if they have any plans to do so.
