Kajastamisel

Kajastamisel is Estonian for the state or process of being covered or reported on. It is formed from the verb kajastama, which means to cover, reflect or report, with the suffix -misel that creates an adverbial participle indicating “in the process of” or “in coverage.” The term is commonly used to describe topics, events or statements that are currently being reported on by the media.

Grammatical notes: Kajastamisel functions as a participial form that can appear in predicative or adnominal position. It is related to, but distinct from, kajastamine (the act of reporting or coverage) and kajastus (coverage as a phenomenon). In sentences, it often follows a noun or pronoun and is followed by a modifier indicating where the coverage is taking place, for example meedias (in the media).

Usage and nuance: In journalistic and public discourse, kajastamisel signals an ongoing process rather than completed coverage. The term is generally neutral, but its connotations can vary with context; for instance, describing a topic as kajastamisel may imply that it is receiving attention, scrutiny or debate in public discourse.

Examples: Teema on kajastamisel meedias. Uuringu tulemused on kajastamisel ajalehtedes. These phrases show the topic or results currently being covered by media outlets.
