Translation of news articles has played a vital role in distributing information on major events in international news arena. With the emergence of digital form of news articles, international news gains more popularity among readers all around the world. The roots of news translation go back to the 19th century, and this later gave rise to a development of news agencies and news organisations. However, the role of a translator was not only to convey the message from one language to another, but, also an important task, to navigate the differences in individual languages, cultures, societies and ideologies. Until recently, translation of news has not been a major focus of Translation Studies. However, theories of news translation being manipulative arose. Translation of news is seen by some scholars as a form of manipulation since translator subordinates faithfulness to the original to the requirements of the narrated text. This type of subordination would give rise to ideologies present in some of the news stories. Van Dijk, one of the most cited practitioners of Critical Discourse Analysis, studied ideologies present in media discourse. His three-level structure of discourse analysis includes discourse, cognition and society which has been a valuable contribution to this line of research. The aim of this paper is to analyse Croatian newspaper articles, namely from the news portals Večernji list, 24 sata and Index.hr and compare them with their corresponding source text in the British Reuters. The analysis is conducted on Van Dijk’s three level model and aims to explore methods used in the process of translation of news and to explain possible ideological underpinnings in target text.
