Nut Graf

The Nut Graf is the part of the story which sums up the overall idea and message of the article. It has several parts to it; explaining to the reader why they should care about what they are reading, providing a clean transition from the introductory paragraph to the body of the story and summing up the story in a "nut shell" to let the consumer know why they should read it. Nut graphs are typically one paragraph long.

A Nut Graph implies the high points of the story, and tells you the end point/ resolution. It states the important facts that tie that story together, it is meant to hold the whole article together. It is seen as the foundation, and needs to be strong for the rest of the story to build on top of it. Details are important because it gives the reader something to keep in mind while reading the story, and make the article more vivid.
