Land og Folk (Danish: [ˈlanˀ ʌ ˈfʌlˀɡ], Land and People) was a Danish language communist daily newspaper printed in Copenhagen, Denmark, between 1919 and 1982.
History and profile
The newspaper was established as a weekly in 1919 under the name of Arbejdet (The Labour).[1] In 1920, the paper became the central communicative organ of the Communist Party of Denmark.[2][3] The following year it was renamed to Arbejderbladet (The Worker's Paper) after the formation of Kommunistisk Føderation (Communist Federation).[1] In 1934, the paper began to be published daily.[1]
The paper was published with the title of Arbejderbladet until June 1941.[1] On 22 August 1941, the paper was banned.[4] It was renamed to Land og Folk on 1 March 1942,[4][5] after a brief publication as Politiske Maanedsbreve (Political Monthly Letters).[1][6] The paper was illegally published by the Danish resistance movement until 1945.[7][8]
In 1950, an automatic Mercedes printing machine and in 1969 a printing press were given to Land og Folk by the East German communist party, SED.[9]
Frede Jakobsen served as the editor-in-chief Land og Folk[10] which was based in Copenhagen.[4][11]
In the 1960s the subscribers of Land og Folk included large number of Russians and the paper was sent to Moscow each day.[9]
In the 1920s its circulation ranged between 4,000 and 6,000 copies.[1] During the next decade its circulation was significantly increased and became nearly 12,000 copies in 1940.[1] By the end of the Nazi occupation in 1945 the paper had a daily circulation of 120,000 copies.[5] During the last six months of 1957 the paper had a circulation of 10,833 copies on weekdays.[12] The circulation of Land og Folk was 7,100 copies in 1975.[2]
Land og Folk ceased publication in 1982.[13]
The photo archive of Land og Folk is kept in Arbejdermuseet (The Workers' Museum) in Copenhagen.[14][15]
