El Tiempo is a Venezuelan regional newspaper, headquartered in Puerto la Cruz, in the state of Anzoátegui.
The newspaper was launched in 1951 as Voz Caribe, a weekly newspaper. It was relaunched as a daily, under the new name El Tiempo, following the restoration of democracy after the 1958 Venezuelan coup d'état.[1] Under the management of Jesús Márquez (1978–1985) the newspaper increased its circulation from 6300 to 35,000, and its size from 16 pages to 40.[1]
The board of directors of Editores Orientales, C.A includes Adolfo Raul Taylhardat.[2]
On 27 April 2018, it was announced that El Tiempo would become a weekly newspaper again after over 60 years as a daily newspaper, with its first weekly edition (printing every Friday) on 4 May 2018. The move was announced by the editorial board as a result of persistent shortages of paper and other printing supplies.[3]
