Along with the rapid development of information technology, the newspaper has also begun a period of development to meet people‟s information demands about every factor of life, both domestically and internationally. Therefore, to provide interesting and helpful international articles, a question for news agencies to consider is how to produce successful translation from Vietnamese to English and vice versa. This has led to the problems in translating news articles, and specifically, the difficulties that translators face in dealing with translation of news. As a way to help the translators out, this research aims at finding out the most prominant difficulties that translators have to overcome in translating news articles. However, newspapers in general cover almost every field of life; therefore it would be very difficult and complicated for the researcher to gain insights into every field. After thinking carefully to find out the most relevant factor in daily life, the researcher decided to focus on economic news articles only, and carry out the research at Dantrione of the most popular and reliable news agencies in Vietnam. This research report consists of three main parts. It begins with the introduction, which states the rationale, aims, scope, and methods of the study. Part two includes three chapters, the first of which reviews the related literature, the second presents the study in details and the third deals with major findings from the data analysis. Part 4 three is the conclusion, which summarizes the whole study and gives suggestions for further research.

however, there remained inadequacies The researcher merely mentions the difficulties in translating from their own point of view It is essential that the researcher also collect opinions from other business news agencies about the challenges in translating business news to make the points more persuasive Moreover, said the conclusions laid out in the research are lacking in solidity, and analytic process For example, in the part “Translators‟ wrong assumption of background knowledge”, he should have discovered the causes thoroughly, and given some examples of wrong assumptions to support her argument Discussing the importance of news media to the economic development, the New York Times business journalist Diana Henrigues (2000) notes that coverage of the New York stock exchange and NASDAQ, for example, had doubled in the last ten years of the 20th century This expanding business news coverage is of particular importance to organizations attempting to manage their image because much of what consumers and other external stakeholders learn ...
