Abstract
There is a growing inclination towards the hybrid fields of translation studies and journalism practices as a space where journalism and translation coexist, or as a hybrid arena of textual production through translation. Because of the significant influence of media, journalistic translation has been viewed as a subfield research of translation studies. This is reflected in the use of terms such as transediting (i.e. translation and editing), news translation, journalistic translation and journalistic translation research, and journalator (i.e. journalist-translator). This perception can be understood in the broader context of how translation studies, several decades after its formal establishment in the second half of the 20th century, opened up to interdisciplinary research studies, and of the attempts to extend this scope to include contemporary media and communication studies by integrating the unique aspects of translating and utilizing proper methodologies. The application of this interdisciplinary framework requires ethical commitments covering journalism and translation professional frameworks.
