Journalistic Translation in the Selected English Media for Promoting the Students Performance in Media Translation

Dr. Shirien Gaffar Mohammed

Abstract: Journalistic translation is often seen as something relatively straightforward, as bread and butter compared to the jam and cream of literary translation. Thus, while students feel that the translation of literature demands a creativity and ingenuity which fall beyond them, they may be confident in their ability to make an effective translation of a press simply by producing a clear and accurate paraphrase of the content of the source text. This task may seem all the easier if the readership of the source and target texts are relatively similar in cultural background and outlook. In today's globalized world, journalistic translation does indeed provide the substance for many translators, The work of many respected journalist crosses national and language boundaries. Columns, for instance, originally published in a single British or Arabic newspaper may be translated in to several other languages and be read by vast people across Europe.
