De Ware Tijd
One of Suriname's principal daily newspapers, published in Paramaribo since 1957. De Ware Tijd reports in Dutch on national politics, the economy, the districts and culture, and its long history has made it a central institution in Surinamese journalism, with an online edition serving readers in Suriname and the Dutch-speaking diaspora.

Is De Ware Tijd left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists De Ware Tijd as Center within Suriname's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read De Ware Tijd beside another title from Suriname and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Suriname dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are De Ware Tijd's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because De Ware Tijd is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Suriname title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
