Ny Tid (United States)

Ny Tid ('New Era'), initially known as Svenska Socialisten ('The Swedish Socialist') was a Scandinavian newspaper published in the United States between 1905 and July 1936.

The move of the editorial office to Chicago was fast-tracked after the editor of the newspaper, John Hallden, was elected to the Rockford city council in April 1911 and had to resign from the editorship of Svenska Socialisten.

[6] The renaming of the newspaper to Ny Tid came about a month after the merger of the Scandinavian Socialist Federation into the Workers Party of America (the legal front organization for the American communists at the time).

[1] The erstwhile publication of the expelled Scandinavian Federation of SLP, Folket ('The People'), merged with Ny Tid on March 10, 1922.

[1] Editors of the paper included Oscar W. Larsen (1922), Charles Fredzen (1922), Daniel Birgers (1922–1925), Allan Wallenius (as "Ellis Peterson") (1925–1929), and Albert Pearson (1929–1936).

[10] On October 25, 1934 a separate edition of Ny Tid for the Mid-West began to appear from Chicago, with Werner Winberg as its editor.
