When talking of those who do translation in news media, are we talking about translators who do journalism, or journalists who do translation? How do we differentiate between the various roles that these agents serve in their professional context?
For my new research, I am planning to interview journalistic translators about their experiences in social media. To avoid any confusion between those experiences which directly relate to their translatorial position, and those which belong other professional and non-professional dimensions, I'm thinking how I could define a journalistic translator and their different, overlapping roles and functions, so as to guide the interviews in the relevant direction.
Suggestions (references to read, methodological approaches etc.) are most welcome.
Creation, recreation, language transfer and language processing are some of the processes carried out by translators in news media (Davier and van Doorslaer 2018). To this we can also add news collection.
You might read some articles on Journalistic translation. Eg:

These translators are not journalists in some contexts.
Galagedarage T. Madhubhashini Thank you very much. I have started reading the 2018 Across Languages and Cultures Special Issue on Journalistic Translation. I think this paper is also part of that issue.
