Otsikoissa

Otsikoissa is a Finnish expression meaning "in the headlines" or "featured in the news." It is formed from otsikko, meaning "headline," plus the inessive plural suffix -issa, which marks location: in the headlines. The form otsikoissa is used when referring to multiple headlines or to the general state of coverage in news media.

In usage, otsikoissa appears in journalism and media analysis to indicate what topics or figures have attracted substantial media attention. It can denote both literal appearance in headlines and a broader sense of prominence in reporting. The expression can be used neutrally to describe coverage or metaphorically to highlight public interest and discussion around an issue or person.

Examples:

Pääministerin lausunto on ollut otsikoissa jo useita päiviä.

Uuden teknologia-yrityksen IPO on ollut otsikoissa viime aikoina.

Nuance: otsikoissa often carries a neutral to negative nuance depending on context; frequent appearance in headlines may imply sensationalism or overexposure, but it can simply reflect importance in public discourse.
