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 is trying hard to present itself as a more youthful 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.[2]
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).
