History and profile

Arbetet was first published in Malmö on 6 August 1887.[1][2] Axel Danielsson was the founder[3][4] and served as the editor-in-chief between 1887 and 1889.[1] The paper had a social democrat leaning[1][5] and had an official affiliation with the Social Democratic Party.[6][7]

The target audience of Arbetet was not only Malmö workers but also economically middle-class.[8] Bengt Lidforss was among the contributors of Arbetet.[9] He published articles about natural sciences and political, philosophical and literary issues.[10]

Frans Nilsson served as the editor-in-chief of Arbetet who assumed the post in 1961.[11] From 1980 to 1990 Lars Engqvist was the editor-in-chief.[12]

The paper awarded the Let Live Award (in Swedish Låt leva-priset).[13] In 1981 the recipient of the award was Lech Walesa.[13]

In the 1980s Arbetet enjoyed high levels of circulation and readership.[2] In 1998 the paper had a circulation of 54,000 copies on weekdays and 58,000 copies on Sundays.[14]

Arbetet ceased publication on 30 September 2000 soon after it went bankrupt in August 2000.[2][15][16]
