The two papers of the ADAV - "Der Social-Demokrat" ("The Social Democrat") and "Der Agitator" ("The Agitator"), both dominated by Schweitzer until he stepped down - now were merged into a new party publication called "Der Neue Sozial-Demokrat" ("The New Social Democrat"). Editors-in-chief were Hasenclever and his party friend and supporter Wilhelm Hasselmann. Additionally, Hasenclever was editor for the magazine "Sozial-politische Blätter" ("Socio-Political Papers") and, from 1873 onwards, publisher of the special edition "Sozialpolitische Blätter zur Unterhaltung und Belehrung der deutschen Arbeiter" ("Socio-Political Papers for the Entertainment and Education of the German Workers").
