Tidningsstatistik AB

Tidningsstatistik AB (TS) is the company which measures newspaper circulation in Sweden. TS started in 1937 as a section within Institutet för marknadsundersökningar (IMU, the institute for market research) and became an independent company in 1943. It used to be jointly owned by the advertising bureau association (Annonsbyråföreningen) and the Swedish newspaper publishers' association (Tidningsutgivarna, TU). In 1994 it was sold to Scribona, an office electronics redistributor, which was a recent spinn-off from the Esselte group. Scribona then acquired Sifo, merged TS into this, sold it to the British WPP Group, where it became SIFO Research International. The main offices for SIFO and TS remain in central Stockholm, at Vasagatan 11. TS is a member of the International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Circulations (IFABC). Swedish daily newspapers monitored by TS have a total circulation of 3.72 million copies (2008). Seven titles had a circulation of more than 100,000: Aftonbladet (377 thousand), Dagens Nyheter (339), Expressen (303, including Göteborgs-Tidningen and Kvällsposten), Göteborgs-Posten (243), Svenska Dagbladet (194), Sydsvenskan (124), and Dagens Industri (112). Swedish journals and magazines monitored by TS have a total circulation of 22.7 million copies (2008), including subscriptions, memberships, issues sold in stores, and free copies. The largest subscription magazines are ICA-kuriren (166 thousand subscriptions) and Hemmets Journal (162). Most copies sold in stores have Hänt Extra (104 thousand) and Se & Hör (66). Largest total circulations have Hemmets Journal (217 thousand) and Allers (216). However, these are dwarfed by titles like Kommunalarbetaren (555 thousand copies), a membership magazine for the trade union for municipal workers (Kommunalarbetareförbundet), and IKEA Family Live (738 thousand). TS also produces circulation statistics for advertising and free newspapers under the title Reklamstatistik (RS), with a combined circulation of 22.4 million copies, and for electronic newsletters and websites.

The Branting Monument
The Branting Monument

The Branting Monument is a monument in Stockholm, Sweden, with a statue of the Swedish Social Democratic leader Hjalmar Branting (1860 – 1925). The monument is 5 meters tall and 6 meters wide. The bronze relief monument, by artist Carl Eldh, is located in a small park at Norra Bantorget in Stockholm, which is the traditional Social Democratic grounds of the city. Eldh started working on the monument in 1926, one year after Branting had died, but it was erected only in 1952. The monument shows a prominent looking Branting addressing a group of workers on a May Day demonstration. Several of the worker movement's pioneers are found in the otherwise anonymous crowd of workers surrounding Branting, including Axel Danielsson and August Palm. On 17 May 1992, the monument was partly damaged when a small bomb exploded and blew up a hole in the belly of the Hjalmar Branting figure. This was the fourth in a series of five statue bombings in Stockholm that had begun on 25 February and ended on 8 June. A group of seven teenagers, six boys and one girl, were arrested a week later and confessed to the acts of vandalism. (The other statues were not political monuments, and no political motives were mentioned in the news reports.) The monument was restored two years later by the local company Herman Bergmans konstgjuteri AB, the foundry that had originally made it in the early 1950s. The restoration cost, 320,000 Swedish crowns, was shared by the City of Stockholm and the Stockholm section of the Swedish Trade Union Confederation.
