Abstract

ABSTRACT This article discusses the difficulties that the divergent conceptualizations of translation in journalism and translation studies pose to conduct inter-disciplinary research into the role of translation practices in journalistic production. It is divided into four sections that review four concepts, namely domestication (in connection with localization), transediting, gatekeeping and convergence. The first two have been widely discussed in translation studies in relation to a variety of genres, while the latter have been central to journalism studies research. The article also discusses the usefulness of these four concepts for the study of journalistic translation practices from the perspective of both translation and journalism studies.
