History

Politisk Revy, a bi-weekly magazine, was founded in 1963 by Andreas Jorgensen, a left-wing politician. [4] [5] The other founders were Socialist People's Party members and journalists who had worked for defunct Dialogue magazine. [3]

Politisk Revy was based in Copenhagen and was published by København. [6] The early the editors of the magazine included Andreas Jorgensen, Johan Fjord Jensen, Ulf Christiansen and Sven Skovmand who left the magazine after 1966. [3] Ebbe Kløvedal Reich and Ole Grünbaum were two of its columnists following this period. [7] The former also served as editor of the bi-weekly for one year at the end of the 1960s. [7]

Karen Jespersen, former interior minister, served as the editor of Politisk Revy from 1974 to 1977. [8] [9] Bente Hansen is another former editor-in-chief of the magazine. [10]

Politisk Revy reached its peak circulation in the 1970s with 5,000 copies. [3] During this period the magazine was one of the alternative media together with Information , a newspaper, in Denmark. [11]

The magazine was closed in March 1987 due to low levels of circulation and shaky finances. In 1969 the magazine also began to publish books of which number was 507 until its disestablishment. [3]

Political leaning, content and censorship

Politisk Ravy was not affiliated to any political party or organization. [3] However, in the late 1960s and in the 1970s the magazine functioned as a forum for the new left in Denmark. [12] [13] In addition, people adopted the views of the new left in the country were organized around the magazine. [7] The magazine provided a very theoretical approach towards the leftist ideas. [14] From 1966 the magazine began to publish articles about the role of Cuba as a driving force in Third World revolutionary activities. [15]

Ebbe Kløvedal Reich's editorials in the magazine were mostly about the criticism of the Vietnam war. [7] The Danish transition of the poems by Mahmoud Darwish, a Palestinian writer, were featured in Politisk Revy in 1967. [5] It also contained many articles about the Palestinian crisis which led to its emergence as a leftist cause in Denmark. [5] However, some contributors of Politisk Revy began to challenge the use of violence as a strategy by the Palestinian groups, particularly by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, after 1972. [5]

In 1969, the Danish police seized the magazine's forthcoming issue for allegedly containing secret military information. [16] The magazine published an editorial in Autumn 1970, arguing that Greenland should have a socialist government. [17]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">De Gyldne Laurbær</span> Danish literature award

De Gyldne Laurbær is a Danish literature award, which was established in 1949. The award is handed by The Committee De Gyldne Laurbær, formerly Boghandlerklubben. The prize is given annually in February or March. Originally the award was a laurel wreath, a golden pin with an inscription, some money and a book gift worth 2500 DKK. Today the award is a laurel wreathe, a diploma and a book gift worth 2500 DKK. The award is handed at a ceremony arranged by the publishing house which has published the winning book and by the Committee De Gyldne Laurbær. Early in January every year the committee sends out ballot to all the Danish bookshops, which then give their vote for a Danish book which was published the year before. An author can only win The Golden Laurel once-in-a-lifetime, so the bookshops can not vote for an author who has already won the prize once before. The winner is usually one of the bestsellers among the Danish books. On the day when it is decided who wins the Golden Laurel, the president of the Committee of The Golden Laurel informs the winner about the award, while journalists follow the event.
