It is published in broadsheet format by the publishing group Casa Editorial El Tiempo in the capital Bogotá and is a member of the Grupo de Diarios América . The circulation varies depending on the day of the week from 220,000 to 401,000 on Sundays.
history
The newspaper El Tiempo was founded on January 30, 1911 by Alfonso Villegas Restrepo and sold in 1913 to Eduardo Santos Montejo , who ran it as owner and director until 1976 . Up to the 130th edition the newspaper was printed in tabloid format and only then changed to the standardized daily newspaper size. On September 6, 1952 , the headquarters of the publishing house burned down completely. With the help of the newspaper El Liberal , however, the paper continued to be printed without exception. It was not until 1978 that the editorial team moved to Avenida Eldorado , where it is still available today.
From 1913 to 2007 the majority of El Tiempo belonged to the extremely wealthy Santos family, whose members held leading positions in Colombian politics. For example, Eduardo Santos Montejo (President from 1938 to 1942) and Francisco Santos Calderón (Vice President from 2002 to 2010) and most recently the former President Juan Manuel Santos , who was in office from 2010 to 2018. In 2007, Spain's Grupo Planeta bought 55% of the Casa Editorial El Tiempo media group, including the newspaper and its associated TV channel CityTv Bogotá.
