Nut Graf

A Nut graf helps to explain to the reader why the story is important and why they should be reading it. It also helps transition from the lead and explain's the lead's importance to the story, also providing supporting evidence. The nut graf is near the center of the story, telling the reader what they will be reading about.

The graf is the foundation of the article or story. They explain what the story's about and entice you to read the rest. Most journalists use or are required to use them. Some grafs are a whole paragraph, others could be just a simple, accurately placed quote. They are commonly used in online articles and in newspapers
