Contents
De Tijd is a typical financial daily, covering economy and business, financial markets and national and international politics. It is the main information source for Belgian managers (CIM-survey 2009). It is published from Tuesday to Saturday with no Sunday or Monday edition. The weekend edition is enriched with two magazines: Netto, on personal finance, and Sabato on lifestyle.
Circulation
According to the Centrum voor Informatie over de Media, (CIM)[1] De Tijd had a total paid for distribution of 38.000 copies at the end of 2009. It reaches almost 140.000 readers every day. De Tijd has an average market share of 6,4% in Flanders. In 2006 De Tijd tested an electronic paper version to subscribers. This was the first such application of electronic ink to newspaper publishing, but the project has been abandoned one year later. Since then the newspaper has continued investing in multimediaprojects. The website of De Tijd reached 145.000 unique visitors a day, at the end of 2009.

Mediafin
De Tijd was established and financially supported by the Vlaams Economisch Verbond. In 2005, two major Belgian media conglomerates, the Flemish De Persgroep (a.o. Het Laatste Nieuws and De Morgen) and the Walloon Rossel (a.o. Le Soir) purchased Uitgeversbedrijf Tijd, the mother company of De Tijd and Editeco, the publishing company of L'Echo, the French counterpart. Both newspapers were integrated in the newly established Mediafin, in which De Persgroep and Rossel each hold a stake of 50 percent. Both newspapers stayed independent, but they work in the same building at the historical site of Tour & Taxis in Brussels since the merger. The current editor-in-chief of De Tijd is Pierre Huylenbroeck. Frederik Delaplace is editorial director for both De Tijd and L'Echo.
