El Tiempo (Hebrew script: איל טיימפו) was a Ladino language newspaper published in Constantinople/Istanbul in the years 1872–1930.
[4] At the time of the First World War, half of the adult Jews in the city were subscribers of El Tiempo.
After his father's death in 1883, Isaac Carmona took over as patron of the newspaper whilst the post of editor passed on to Mercado Fresco and Sami Alkabez.
[6] Once Zionism emerged as a political force, El Tiempo responded by proclaiming its loyalty to the Ottoman Empire.
[6] There was a brief period (prior to 1910) during which discussions were ongoing between the World Zionist Organization and El Tiempo, but any re-evaluation of Zionism on behalf of El Tiempo was sealed as David Fresco aligned with prominent anti-Zionist Rabbi Chaim Nahum.
