Managing of ideology in English-Arabic translation of news headlines

Abstract EN

"How global is the media? This question can be examined in terms of ownership, production, distribution, content and reception.

The boundaries in all these areas are not as clear as they were.

The local can be so strong that the global itself becomes localized in the course of production, marketing and distribution." (Gambier 2006:16) This research aims to analyse the news headlines according to the political ideological stance of an agency.
