Translation in Global News
Translation in Global News examines how news agencies, arguably the most powerful organizations in the field of global news, have developed historically and how they conceive of and employ translation in a global setting. Incorporating the results of extensive fieldwork 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 a flow 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 first text of its kind todeal 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. Esperança Bielsa is Lecturer at the Department of Sociology at the University of Leicester. She is the author of The Latin American Urban Crónica:Between Literature and Mass Culture (2006) and co-editor of Globalization, Political Violence and Translation (2008). Susan Bassnett is Professor in the Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Warwick. She has previously published over twenty books including The Translator as Writer (co-edited, 2006), Translation Studies (third edition, Routledge, 2002) andPostcolonial Translation: Theory and Practice (co-edited) (Routledge, 1999).
