El Tiempo is a nationally distributed broadsheet newspaper in Colombia, founded in 1911. It is the flagship publication of Casa Editorial El Tiempo S.A., which is owned by businessman Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo. The outlet maintains a centrist editorial line and is recognized as the most widely read newspaper in the country, with a significant digital presence and a diverse portfolio of media assets including Citytv and various magazines. While it has historically held a dominant market position, its editorial independence is sometimes discussed in the context of its ownership by a major financial and industrial conglomerate.
