La traducción y los géneros periodísticos

Abstract

Translation plays an essential role in the world of journalism. We often read news, articles and all types of journalistic documents in our newspapers without being conscious of the fact that we are, in the majority of cases reading translations. However, such translations haven't received sufficient study and attention that could place them amongst other contributions made in the field. Usually, these translations are not signed by the translators themselves and, therefore, cause a rather important ambiguity if we bare in mind that the original text may have changed in one way or another.
