The Ethics of News Translation

Translation is no longer regarded as merely a linguistic exercise, but rather as an action founded on ethical principles and framed within a specific ideological framework. The ethical issues connected to the position and relevance of translation in the newsroom have not been explored theoretically or practically. This monograph will thus investigate such issues through the lens of translations from English into Italian, drawing on both Translation Studies and Journalism Studies, where ethics and objectivity are once again prioritized.
