Translating the News Reframing Constructed Realities

Abstract

With cable and satellite television networks spreading rapidly and competitively across the globe, news and current affairs television is increasingly becoming a primary source of information for viewers worldwide for both domestic and international stories. While critically relying on translations of news from international providers, these networks are contributing to the reframing of news events and creating information and cultural misfits, often unintended by the original sources and sometimes unwelcome by the intended viewers. This paper examines the impact of translation on news making and argues that by submitting news to translation it undergoes a reframing process entailing a reconstruction of a constructed reality already subjected to professional, institutional and contextual influences.
