The few remaining Labour activists were left without a newspaper. Bergen Labour Party tried to run a newspaper called "Bergens Arbeiderblad" formerly, but it only existed from 11 April 1924 till October 1924. In 1927, the Social Democratic Labour Party reconciled with the Labour Party, and the two parties again became one. At the same time, a new newspaper "Bergens Arbeiderblad" was founded on the base of "Bergens Social-Demokrat". 1927 is considered the official founding year of BA. The seven men commissioned to start the newspaper, also started the new Labour Party of Bergen, called Bergens Forenede Arbeiderparti.
