Translation in Global News

Translation in Global News examines how news agencies, arguably the most

powerful organizations in the

eld of global news, have developed histori-

cally and how they conceive of and employ translation in a global setting.

Incorporating the results of extensive

eldwork in major global news

organizations such as Reuters, Agence France-Presse and Inter Press Service,

this book addresses the new pressures facing translation as the need for

ow of accurate information which must transfer successfully across

geographic, linguistic and cultural boundaries becomes increasingly more

important.

Bringing together the common concerns of globalization studies, media

studies, sociology and translation studies, Translation in Global News is the

rst text of its kind to deal extensively with the issue of translation in the

context of global news and will be key reading for students of translation

studies, media studies and journalism, as well as anyone with an interest in

how news is transferred around the world.
