De Tijd was a Dutch-language Catholic newspaper published from 1845 until 1974. The first edition of De Tijd was published 17 June 1845 in 's-Hertogenbosch; at this time the newspaper appeared thrice weekly. Judocus Smits was the founder and editor in chief. In 1846 De Tijd (which at that time had 250 subscribers) moved to Amsterdam, in order to attract more subscribers. It also started publishing daily.
At the end of pillarisation, the number of subscribers diminished drastically. In 1959, De Maasbode, a Roman Catholic newspaper founded in 1885, merged into De Tijd and was added to the title. In 1966, the title was shortened again to De Tijd. De Tijd became a weekly magazine in 1974.
Haagse Post
Haagse Post was a social liberal news magazine published weekly from 1914 to 1969. Audax Groep bought the magazine in 1994 from publisher HPU, VNU and MeesPierson bank.
HP/De Tijd
In 1990, De Tijd merged with the Haagse Post weekly news magazine to become HP/De Tijd, a weekly news magazine. De Tijd was a Catholic weekly magazine. In the early 2000s HP/De Tijd was known for its right-wing discourse, often featuring right-wing personalities such as Pim Fortuyn.
On 25 April 2012, HP/De Tijd became a monthly published magazine. On 1 April 2022, Hp/De Tijd left the Audax Groep after 31 years. From then, it published by a newly established nonprifit, Het Vrije Woord.
