Julkistuksen

Julkistus is a Finnish term referring to the act of making information, a work, or a product public. It denotes the release or disclosure of something to the general audience and is used across journalism, publishing, science, and business to describe the moment or process when new information or items are revealed.

The word stems from the verb julkistaa, meaning to publish or to disclose, and from the adjective julkinen, meaning public. The noun form julistus is related in meaning, and julkistus typically emphasizes the event or act of bringing something into public view rather than the finished product itself.

Usage and nuance are context-dependent. In media and corporate communication, julkistus often refers to an unveiling or official announcement, such as the public introduction of a new product or the release of a report. By contrast, the Finnish word julkaisu generally points to the publication itself—for example, the release of a book, article, or dataset. Thus, julkistus highlights the act of disclosure, while julkaisu emphasizes the finished, publicly accessible work.

Common contexts include press conferences, product launches, and the public dissemination of research findings. In official or legal language, julkistus can appear in phrases describing the disclosure of information to authorities or the public.
