History and profile

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][5] The company also published other publications, including Interviu, a magazine,[6][7] and El Periódico de Catalunya, a daily newspaper.[8]

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[4][9] and 67% of its readers were male.[9] The magazine had a council of readers.[10] The magazine had a centrist political leaning[11] and was a sensationalist publication.[12] The US Department of State also described the magazine as a centrist publication in 2000.[13] It was also argued that the weekly had a left-liberal political stance.[1]

The last issue of Tiempo was published in January 2018.[14][15] It included a collection of significant editorials and other news that had been published in the magazine.[16]

Circulation

The circulation of Tiempo was 141,000 copies in 1994.[17] Its circulation was 31,680 copies in 2009.[18] In June 2011 the weekly had a circulation of 24,975 copies.[9] For the first part of 2013 the circulation of the magazine rose to 29,229 copies.[19]
