How do we translate the world in all its depth and complexity? Long-form reportage and analysis demand not only accuracy but also the careful transmission of voice, rhythm and nuance. In a moment of intensifying global crises and contested narratives, the act of translating reportage and analysis becomes not only a question of language, but also one of responsibility, representation and power.

This online talk will consider the possibilities – and limits – of translating journalism. What are the ethical and stylistic differences between rendering a piece of journalism versus a work of literature? How can translation counter Anglophone bias and open up new ways of understanding the world?

The Translator magazine editorial team will be joined by translators and contributors from Issue #1, who will reflect on their own experiences of translating reportage. Together, we will explore how global journalism can move across borders without losing sight of voice, clarity or truth.

Registration is free and open to anyone interested in reading the world differently, whether you speak one language or five.
