In 1945, Ny Dag had around 29,700 subscribers.[4] About ten local editions of Ny Dag were launched during the 1940s. All were closed down during the 1950s.[5]
After the meagre election result for the Communist Party in the 1962 municipal elections (in which the party obtained 3.8% of the nationwide vote), a lengthy, and for a Communist Party publication remarkably harsh, debate erupted in the pages of Ny Dag, in which critics held the party leadership personally accountable for the electoral defeat.[6]
Ny Dag became a twice-weekly newspaper in 1965.[7] In 1970, it had a circulation of around 15,000.[7] Ny Dag was printed at Västermalms Tryckeri AB, on Kungsholmen in Stockholm.[4]
Editors
Hugo Sillén edited Ny Dag between 1931 and 1934.[8] Around 1940, Gustav Johansson was the editor of the newspaper.[4]
Hilding Hagberg, also the party chairman, was the political editor of Ny Dag 1943 to 1964,[9] whilst C.-H. Hermansson served as the editor of the newspaper 1959 to 1964.[10] In the late 1970s, Ingemar Andersson was editor-in-chief of the newspaper.[11]
