History and profile

edit

Tiempo was first published on 17 May 1982.[1][2] Its founder was Antonio Asensio Pizarro,[1] who also established Grupo Zeta in 1976.[3] Julián Lago was the founding editor-in-chief of the magazine which had its headquarters in Madrid.[2] Although Tiempo was started as a political magazine, its political content reduced from June 1987.[2] Then, it began to frequently cover news about culture, entertainment, economy and sports.[2]

The magazine was published weekly by Grupo Zeta on Fridays.[1][4] The company also published other publications, including Interviu, a magazine,[5][6] and El Periódico de Catalunya, a daily newspaper.[7]

Tiempo focused on news about social issues.[1] Its target audience was people of high and upper-medium social class from all parts of Spain[8] and 67% of its readers were male.[8] The magazine had a council of readers.[9] The magazine had a centrist political leaning[10] and was a sensationalist publication.[11] The US Department of State also described the magazine as a centrist publication in 2000.[12] It was also argued that the weekly had a left-liberal political stance.[1]

The last issue of Tiempo was published in January 2018.[13][14] It included a collection of significant editorials and other news that had been published in the magazine.[15]
