Salt was a conservative and controversial political magazine which appeared from 1999 to 2002 in Sweden. It was closed due to the condemnation of its anti-semitic and anti-immigrant leaning. The magazine is cited as an example of anti-semitism in the conservative ideology.^[1]

History and profile

Salt was launched in 1999 and billed itself as an extremely conservative publication.^[1] The first issue appeared in October 1999 in which Jonas De Geer and Per-Olof Bolander described the magazine as follows: "It will not be like other publications and will not support the dominant left-liberal propaganda in Sweden. Instead, it will criticize the dominant ideologies of today, feminism and multiculturalism. We are cultural conservatives and defend traditional Swedish and Western values."^[2]^[3] Salt came out three or four times a year.^[3] From its start in 1999 to 2001 the magazine was headquartered in Stockholm.^[3] Then its editorial office was moved to Gothenburg.^[3]

Jonas De Geer and Per-Olof Bolander coedited the magazine in 1999 and between 2001 and 2002.^[3] Jonas De Geer, Per-Olof Bolander and Åsa Ljungquist were the editors-in-chief for the issues 3–5 which were published in 2000.^[3] The sixth issue dated 2000 was edited by Jonas De Geer.^[3] Its contributors were conservative Swedish intellectuals and academics.^[1] The magazine published articles which opposed the Holocaust and the migration to Sweden.^[1] These articles caused discussions about whether or not the magazine was a racist publication.^[4] As a result, common negative reactions occurred in the Swedish mass media which led to the closure of Salt in 2002.^[1]
