Abstract
News translation is questionable as part of translation by a number of translation scholars. This paper aims to give solutions to this problem. Using some leading opinions on the nature of news translation confronted with a preliminary research done by the author, this paper proposes the following solutions. Parallelism of source text with target text should be the first to be confirmed. Source text must be able to be traced and compared to as one to one translation. This means that the translated text has a function, text structure and meaning that can be compared in parallel with the source text. The next thing to be confirmed is the use of holistic approach in doing news translation research. The complexity of intra and extra-linguistic factors in news translation should be covered by using a proper combination of linguistic approach with other related non-linguistic approach.
