NJ News Commons Spanish Translation News Service
A statewide collaborative meant to increase the amount of quality statewide news available to Spanish-language news audiences
This project will be piloted with four English-language news organizations and six Spanish-language news organizations over the second half of 2022 in a test-run of the Spanish Translation News Service.
Up to five stories originally produced in English and various formats (text, photographs, and video and multimedia) by statewide media partners will be selected by the project manager and translated each week. The translated articles will be immediately sent to Spanish-language media outlets that are part of the project for use on their platforms.
Up to six bilingual translators will be hired, mostly reporters and editors from ethnic media in New Jersey.
The project will also create a pop-up weekly newsletter, sharing content and other reporting resources in Spanish. The Center will create a webpage and post the translated stories when they become available, and will seek to develop social media content based on the translated stories to be shared on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The translation project will run for six months, from July 2022 to December 2022.
