“…Linguistic practices vary internationally. For instance, in Sweden, it is acceptable for a political reporter to plainly state they had a discussion with a politician ‘over a glass of wine’ (Economou, 1997), while in Germany and Poland, writers are more likely to use longer paragraphs and include more contextual information within a story than English-writing journalists (Duszak, 1995). Print and online news stories use a different writing style than broadcast news.…”

Journalism critics have argued that transparency about the reporting process is an ethical imperative. Convergence offers news organizations opportunities for changed writing styles that may foster more transparency, especially as they embrace video storytelling. This project used two experiments to investigate the impact of transparent language on the way online news consumers perceive the credibility of video news reports. The study operationalized transparency in narrative as the use of first-person statements and references to the newsgathering process. Subjects noticed transparency statements but this had no significant effect on their assessment of the credibility of a story or reporter. The results suggest that transparency is a distinct variable with a complicated relationship to other audience effects.

“…For his part, Lewis (2008), who investigates the role of translation in news production in the bilingual regions of Spain, differentiates between literal translation and 'merely translating' (p. 424), while Duszak (1995), who carried out a textual analysis of articles in English, Polish and German and translated the latter two into English for the benefit of the readership, writes in a footnote, 'The English versions of the German and Polish examples are not to be taken as translations proper' (p. 472). Finally, Garcia-Blanco and…”

Starting from the consolidation of journalistic translation as a subarea of research within translation studies and the calls for interdisciplinary approaches to the analysis of news texts, this article interrogates the lack of interaction between translation and journalism studies by examining the use of the term ‘translation’ in the latter. After providing the definition in two general dictionaries and in translation studies reference works, the article explores how ‘translation’ is used in a corpus of 186 articles written by journalism studies scholars. The results show that these researchers use ‘translation’ to refer to linguistic transfer as well as to other more general transformations. The study also demonstrates that ‘transediting’, widely used in journalistic translation research, does not appear in the publications by journalism studies scholars.

“…News discourse was chosen because it is narrative based and therefore broadly applicable to the notion of transitivity. There has also been extensive research in the structural characteristics of this text type (Duszak, 1995) (Kay and Aylett, 1994) (Bell, 1991). However, the study poses a challenge in the sense that the notion of transitivity has previously been exemplified with relatively simple sentences presenting action sequences.…”
