The paper awarded the Let Live Award (Swedish: Låt leva-priset).
Arbetet ceased publication on 30 September 2000 soon after it went bankrupt in August 2000.[2][13][14]
Editors-in-chief and staff
As mentioned above the founding editor-in-chief of Arbetet was Axel Danielsson between 1887 and 1889.[1] In the 1910s Bengt Lidforss served as the editor-in-chief of the paper.[15] Another editor-in-chief was Allan Vougt who was succeeded by Gösta Netzén in 1944.[16][17] Netzén was in office until 1957.[16] Frans Nilsson was named as its editor-in-chief in 1961.[18] From 1980 to 1990 Lars Engqvist was its editor-in-chief.[19]
Fredrik Sterky worked as the business manager of Arbetet.[20]
Circulation
Arbetet was the best-selling newspaper in Malmö in the 1930s selling more copies than the other Malmö papers Skånska Dagbladet and Sydsvenska Dagbladet.[21] However, its coverage of the Malmö households was less than 50% reducing its dominance in the region.[21] In addition, Sydsvenska Dagbladet managed to sell more copies than Arbetet from the mid-1950s.[21] When a social democratic news magazine entitled Ny Tid which was headquartered in Gothenburg folded in 1965, Arbetet acquired its circulation.[21]
In the 1980s Arbetet enjoyed high levels of circulation and readership.[2] In 1998 the paper sold 54,000 copies on weekdays and 58,000 copies on Sundays.[22]
