Journalistic translation research goes global: theoretical and methodological considerations five years on

This article presents an overview of the publications on journalistic translation research spanning the period 2015-present day. It includes three sections that highlight the main theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches used by researchers, namely discourse analysis and linguistics, sociology, and communication/journalism studies. As regards the latter, particularly relevant is the use of the concepts of framing, gatekeeping and convergence. These sections lead to a discussion of mixed method approaches, as defended and used by many researchers, and also serve to introduce the contributions to this issue, which represent the geographical, theoretical and methodological variety that now characterises journalistic translation research.
