Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Journalism and Translation in the Era of Convergence

Abstract

Le Droit is a monolingual French-language regional newspaper targeting audiences in two Canadian provinces. Although its multimodal content appears to be in French only, English permeates the daily work of reporters. Data include sessions of observation, semi-structured interviews, and text collection on different platforms (print, website, applications, and social media). This chapter shows that, at the level of news-gathering, contacts with English sources seem partially unavoidable or even desirable. At the level of production, however, all traces of translation are erased in the written form, while French voices are systematically preferred in audiovisual content. The growing importance of audiovisual content seems to predict the exclusion of sources in a second language.
