“…The few documents from the early modern period available today demonstrate the importance of news production and dissemination for the creation of specific narratives of news events (Glaisyer, 2017;Peacy, 2017). The notion of 'narrative' has been very productive in sociological and discursive approaches to the analysis of news writing, translation and dissemination.…”

Over the past two decades, the interest in journalistic translation and, more specifically, news translation has produced an important bulk of publications. Although most of this research has originated within translation studies, scholars have conducted interdisciplinary studies drawing on concepts and theoretical frameworks from neighbouring disciplines such as sociology, communication and journalism, discourse analysis and images studies. The interdisciplinary nature of most of this research has highlighted the importance of academic dialogue across disciplines, as exemplified by the work of scholars who have brought to the fore the crucial role played by translation in news production, including those that have contributed to this special issue.En las últimas décadas el estudio de la traducción periodística ha generado un gran número de publicaciones. Si bien la mayor parte de ellas han surgido dentro de la disciplina de los Estudios de Traducción, sus autores han llevado a cabo estudios desde un enfoque interdisciplinar a partir de conceptos procedentes de la sociología, los estudios de comunicación y de periodismo, el análisis de discurso y la imagología. La naturaleza interdisciplinar de estos estudios señala la importancia de establecer un diálogo académico, como lo demuestran los autores que han estudiado el papel de la traducción en la producción de noticias, incluyendo los artículos de este número especial.

“…The later Commonwealth and Restoration governments undertook to provide an official flow of news while suppressing unofficial media, and from 1655 onwards launched a succession of official government newspapers. Based on diplomatic correspondence and published from the office of the Secretary of State, these papers culminated in the bi-weekly Oxford then London Gazette in 1665, which continues to be published today (see Glaisyer 2017;Handover 1965;Williams 1977;Sutherland 1986;Cowan 2004, p. 35). In the same period, building on naval and diplomatic reforms made under the Commonwealth, England's naval and economic power in the Mediterranean grew, and, recognising Maghrebi autonomy under the Ottoman Empire, peace was negotiated directly with the Ottoman Regencies of Tunis and Tripoli in 1662 and Algiers in 1662 and 1664 (Akihito and Atsushi 2018, pp.…”

Commonly represented in contemporary texts and modern historiographical accounts as a dangerous and alien region, characterised by piracy and barbarism, the history of the early modern Maghreb and the cultural impact it had on British society is one highly limited by indirect sources, cultural, political, and religious biases, and the distorting influence of Orientalist and colonial historiography. Historians have drawn on a wide range of popular media and government-held archival material, each with its own limitations, but one important corpus has been neglected. Drawn from up-to-date and trusted sources and distributed to vast audiences from a wide range of social groups, periodical news publications provide a vast and fruitful body of sources for evaluating popular and elite English viewpoints on Maghrebi piracy. This paper draws upon a corpus of 3385 news items comprising over 360,000 words relating to the Maghreb and its people, drawn from Stuart and Republican English news publications, with a view towards examining the discourse and reality around Maghrebi maritime combat, diplomact and trade in seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England. To what extent did maritime combat dominate coverage of the Maghreb, over other social, political and military events? Why did news writers use the word ‘pirate’ so infrequently to describe Maghrebi ships? Was Maghrebi piracy chaotic and unfettered, or did peace treaties and consular presence lead to stable trade relations? Were Maghrebi economies seen to be fundamentally built on naval predation, or was real benefit available from peaceful engagement with the Maghrebi states? Examining these and other questions from English news coverage, this paper argues that the material in English periodical news is generally consistent with what we know of the military, diplomatic and economic conditions of the time, surprisingly neutral in tone with a possible emphasis on positive stories when dealing with British–Maghrebi relations, and increasingly after the Restoration played a significant role in influencing British popular discourse.
