Traditionally, before Internet, the UK and Ireland had magazines and papers that didn't pay at all, and condition of submission was they got the copyright.
I was going to submit to an Irish weekly magazine that's still printed on newsprint (though possibly better than the early 1900s when they launched). I discovered they still run that scheme, so abandoned the plan to offer them a serialised story. Some issues are quite good.
Some quite famous UK monthly technical magazines (one at least till 2017) did that scheme too.
