History and profile

Arbeidet was started in Bergen as a socialist newspaper on 6 December 1893,

Norwegian Labour Party in Bergen.[1] Angell-Olsen remained editor until January 1914, when he left with immediate effect. The reason was "an internal party affair" in which Angell-Olsen did not want to "go into detail".[4]

Arbeidet was edited by

Sverre Krogh from 1918.[6] Other noted staff include Andreas Paulson, critic from 1895 to 1929,[7] Otto Luihn, journalist from 1919 to 1923,[8] and Alfred Madsen, subeditor from 1919 to 1920.[9]

In 1923, the communists in the Labour Party broke away to form the Communist Party, and Arbeidet followed the new party. It became a regional newspaper covering Rogaland as well.[1]

Fridthjof Bergmann was hired as editor in 1925, but was soon fired as he was suspected for working with a union with the Labour Party.

occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany. Olsen was later sentenced for treason during the legal purge in Norway after World War II, for having printed "un-national material" prior to its closing.[1]

Arbeidet resumed publication from 9 May 1945, one day after the war's end, but became defunct after its last issue on 16 November 1949.[1]
