Folket i Bild/Kulturfront is a Swedish magazine for reports, art, literature, debate and culture. It has three aims: For a culture of the people, for free speech and for antiimperialism. It's published by the organization of the same name, and are mostly famous because of the SCOOP in the 70's by Jan Guillou & Peter Bratt uncovering the in the time ruling Swedish Socialdemocratic Worker Party's own intelligence agency and its connections to american and israeli spy and intelligence organizations. The paper had a big campaign against the new constitution of Sweden 1973 and 1974, gathering many conservative lawyers and legal experts around the paper, though the profile often was said to be "maoist" (which is false, rightists have been members of the organization and paper crew since the beginning). It was founded in 1972 on the initiative of the author Jan Myrdal and its being was partly cofunded by the Swedish famous author Vilhelm Moberg and by handouts from fabrics and other places were the Swedish workers were.

Many famous journalists and authors have been members of the organization and staff, e.g. Henning Mankell, Jan Guillou, Gun Kessle and Göran Rosenberg.
