El Tiempo Casa Editorial is a Colombian media conglomerate and the publishing house that owns Colombia's main national daily newspaper, El Tiempo. It was founded by former president Eduardo Santos Montejo on February 1, 1956. Six months after, the dictatorship of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla closed the newspaper. Santos Montejo formed the Publishing House to use the facilities and staff of El Tiempo in the production of other publications, preventing the disappearance of the company and the dismissal of its workers. The former president distributed the shares among the main members of the Santos family, Roberto García-Peña, Abdón Espinosa Valderrama, and several officials he trusted completely. The first publication of the new company was the newspaper Intermedio.2
