      ab: Advances in information and communication technologies and the globalisation of digital flows have enabled news produced in a certain location to be disseminated and consumed in various other locations. This has brought about a greater reliance on translation. Drawing mainly on Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and capital, this paper analyses how the interplay between economic forces, on the one hand, and the hybrid nature of the capital offered by translation, on the other hand, transforms translators’ habitus. I examine how journalists and translators deal with organisational and evaluative structures of their respective practices and working settings; and how such structures may influence the realisation of certain practices and the pursuit of specific aims or interests. With the help of data from literature and interviews with translators, editors and chief editors, I elucidate the extent to which changes in habitus are linked to the scarcity of capitals offered by translation.
