This course aims to provide an introduction to the techniques and theories of news translation. Students will be exposed to local and international news of the print and electronic media and to a wide range of news subjects (government and politics, finance, crime and punishment, health and disasters, etc). To be compe-tent in translation, students will be made aware of the constant changing nature of language, and the specific expressions in the news as well as the cultural and political contexts in which news writing is produced. Upon completion of the course, students are able to describe the steps and skills involved in news translation; define the criteria of good news translation; produce translated work relating to various news genres and subjects from Turkish into English and vice-versa demonstrating ability and confidence in sorting out linguistic/grammatical problems in news translation, and those arising from different political, social and cultural settings of the source-text.
