De Tijd Type Daily Format Broadsheet Owner Mediafin Editor Frederik Delaplace Founded 1968 Headquarters Posthoflei 3 Box 9 Berchem B-2600 Website : www.tijd . be De Tijd ( English : The Time ) , formerly De Financieel-Economische Tijd ( The Financial Economical Time ) , is a Belgian broadsheet newspaper that mainly focusses on business and economics . Content The 'old ' De Financieel-Economische Tijd ( FET ) was mainly targeting business people with high-quality articles on stock markets , finance and economics . A substantial part of its readers bought the newspaper for its stock quotes , the FET up until recently being the only source in Belgium . With the rise of the internet and online stock market services , the 'new ' De Tijd needs to attract more readers and to broaden its market . In order to achieve this , it started publishing articles on culture , domestic affairs , international relations and politics , changing from an economic newspaper to a more mainstream quality paper . Circulation In 2006 , De Tijd has an average weekday circulation of 50 , 000 issues , according to the Centrum voor Informatie over de Media . The last years , the circulation is severely dropping . In 2000 , the weekday circulation was almost 70 , 000 . De Tijd has an average market share of 6 , 4% in Flanders . Monday issue Until 2003 , it was published from Tuesdays to Saturdays , no publication on Sundays and Mondays . This made De Tijd the only newspaper in Belgium without a 're al ' Monday issue . In the nineties , the non-existent Monday newspaper was replaced by a newsletter for registered website users . After the adoption of the new name and logo in 2003 , a full-size hardcopy on Monday was issued . Slogans Het Lijfblad van de Manager ( 1968-1996 ) . Voorkennis van Zaken ( 1996-2002 ) .

Het Laatste Nieuws and De Morgen ) and the Walloon Rossel ( a . o . Le Soir ) purchased Uitgeverij De Tijd , the mother company of De Tijd and L'Echo , the French counterpart . Both newspapers were integrated in the newly established Mediafin , in which De Persgroep en Rossel each hold a stake of 50 percent . Trivia The current editor-in-chief is Frederik Delaplace .
