Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) work in linguistically diverse contexts, particularly NGOs that have an international remit. This chapter explores the synergies between NGOs, their use of media, and the translation practices that they employ in their media work. Firstly, the chapter reviews literature from Journalism and Media Studies which has investigated NGOs’ activities as alternative global news providers. Secondly, the chapter explores how NGOs are engaging with new media tools, such as social media and other mobile applications, to increase two-way communication with their beneficiaries as part of their advocacy and humanitarian work. To do so, it draws on key literature from Development Studies and Disaster Management. Overall, the discussion shows that there has been little engagement with the role of languages and translation in the literature so far, and that this gap is only just starting to be addressed through the work of some translation studies scholars. The chapter argues that paying closer attention to NGOs’ use of translation in its media work is important to shed new light on NGOs’ functioning and ability to act as mediators between their beneficiaries and the wider public. NGOs claim to work according to values of equality and inclusion. However, some of the research conducted so far raises questions on whether NGOs are able to work according to these values if they fail to consider the importance and complexity of translation in their engagement with linguistically diverse audiences. The chapter concludes by exploring future scope for translation studies research that further engages with these questions.
