What is journalistic translation?
The first news texts circulated in handwritten form and so few of these
early texts still exist today. The first ‘newspapers’ were called avvisi, a
word of Italian origin. Translation was, and still is, an integral part of
journalism, in order for the public to be made aware of influential events
happening in the world. For example, during the First and Second World
Wars, journalistic translation was the way in which people were
informed about the battles taking place in Europe and the Middle East.
When the first newspapers
appeared in England, they
were translations from Latin,
German and French. The
Corante, which was also a
translation of texts published
in other parts of Europe, was
imitating the Dutch model
as they were mostly
published in Amsterdam,
Alkmaar and The Hague. It
is said to be the first
newspaper printed in
England.
