What is the name of your state? Georgia

What rights do I have in having a newspaper I write for remove some articles from their website?

I file a 1099 and write regularly (biweekly) but sometimes I miss publication dates. I'm assuming that I would fit under the independent contractor status. They did not make me sign a "work for hire" contract or application. Based on some websites I'm reading, I would assume that I own the copyright to my articles.

Would I have the right to ask them to remvove two articles of mine from their website?
 
Even if you're an independent contractor, exactly why do you feel you're entitled to have them remove articles from their site after they've paid you for the articles?
