Reconstruction of ideology-related norms in news trans-editing
Studies on news trans-editing, an activity combining both news translation and news editing, started to emerge in the 1980s. Their research emphases are always on only one of the following aspects: practical strategies, contextual factors, or the gate-keeping function, which could be said to be the control of information through channels of communication. Due to their own chosen focuses, all these existing studies have only partially explored news trans-editing, and no thorough account has yet been provided. To address such deficiency, this thesis, adopting Descriptive Translation Studies as a theoretical framework, brings together all the above research focuses and develops a method for reconstructing norms in news trans-editing, especially those which emerge due to the ideologies embedded in the target news organisation. The proposed reconstruction method is also intended to offer a useful analytical tool for translator trainers and researchers who are intent on investigating norms in news trans-editing as well as on applying the norms to translator training. Chapter 1 discusses the notion of norms within DTS as well as the insights from existing research into news trans-editing. This discussion sheds light
