DE MORGEN

'De Morgen' (The Morning) is a Flemish newspaper with a circulation of 53,860 ^[1]. It originates from a merger in 1978 of two socialist newspapers ''Vooruit'' ("Onwards") and ''Volksgazet'' ("People's Newspaper").
De Morgen presents itself as an independent and progressive newspaper -although it is very much left-oriented- and a more dynamic alternative to its two competitors in the Flemish market ''De Standaard'' and ''De Tijd''. According to the editor in chief Yves Desmet, "the Flemish press has been secularized" under the influence of De Morgen (subscription needed).^[2] It has also won several prices for its revolutionary lay-out. It has also applied advanced printing technology to be able to print with greener, water-based ink and higher quality paper.
The ''Vooruit'' was founded in Ghent by Edward Anseele and appeared the first time on 31 August 1884, just before the making of the Belgian Workmen's Party (Dutch: Belgische Werklieden Partij) in 1885. Today De Morgen is published by De Persgroep (which also publishes Het Laatste Nieuws).
