History and profile

Året Runt was started by Åhlén & Åkerlunds förlag (today Bonnier AB) in 1946.[1][2] During the initial period the magazine targeted rural readers.[2] Gunny Widell served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine.[3][4] Another family magazine, Vårt Hem, merged with Året Runt in 1951.[2] In 1960 Året Runt began to include a TV section.[2]

Bonnier sold Året Runt to its rival company Aller Media due to poor circulation levels in the mid-1980s.[2][5][6] The magazine is published by Allers Förlag AB on a weekly basis.[7] The headquarters moved from Stockholm[8] to Malmö in January 2016.[5] The magazine featured interviews with both famous personalities such as Ingmar Bergman[9] and other women figures.[7]

Circulation

Året Runt sold 60,000 copies in its first year, 1946.[2] From 1951 to 1994 it was the best-selling family magazine in Sweden.[2] The magazine reached its peak circulation in 1955 with 498,000 copies[2] and also enjoyed higher levels of circulation in the 1960s and 1970s.[10]

The circulation of the magazine was 181,300 copies in 2006.[11] Next year the magazine was the fifth best-selling magazine in Sweden with a circulation of 172,700 copies.[12] Its circulation was 153,200 copies in 2011.[13] In 2014 the magazine sold 135,200 copies.[14]
