ABSTRACT The ‘domestication norm' has been frequently identified as a feature of news translation. However, a paradigm shift in translational behaviour in news production might be underway, coinciding in time with the democratisation of free machine translation services. An analysis of a corpus of science-journalism articles published in a ‘hyperlocal' Spanish medium, including reactions from readers, will confirm this hypothesis. Exploring the effects and implications of the adoption of (scarcely) post-edited machine translation procedures in the production of digital news will offer grounds for delineating alternatives to the ‘mechanistic’ translation practices that are on the rise in contemporary journalism.
