De Morgen

De Morgen (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈmɔrɣə(n)]; The Morning) is a Flemish newspaper with a circulation of 53,860.

The Vooruit was founded in Ghent by Edward Anseele and appeared the first time on 31 August 1884, just before the foundation of the Belgian Labour Party (Dutch: Belgische Werklieden Partij) in 1885.

De Morgen was modelled on French daily Liberation.

On the other hand, the paper is described as a leftist and socialistic publication.

[3] According to the former editor-in-chief Yves Desmet [nl], the Flemish press was "de-pillarized" under the influence of De Morgen.
