El Tiempo Colombian Newspaper is a daily newspaper in Colombia, a non-tabloid daily with national distribution. As of 2012, it had the highest circulation in Colombia with an average daily weekday circulation of 1,137,483, rising to 1,921,571 for the Sunday edition.After longtime rival El Espectador was reduced to a weekly publication following an internal financial crisis in 2001, El Tiempo enjoyed monopoly status in Colombian media as the only daily that circulated nationally, because most smaller dailies have limited distribution outside their own regions. On 11 May 2008 El Espectador returned to the daily format.
