Tiedotteitä

Tiedotteitä is a Finnish term that appears to be a plural form of tiedote, meaning a notice or press release. In standard Finnish, the partitive plural is tiedotteita and the nominative plural is tiedotteet; tiedotteitä is uncommon and is usually regarded as a misspelling or dialectal variant in contemporary Finnish.

In practice, tiedotteita (or tiedotteet, depending on grammatical context) refer to official communications issued by organizations to convey news, statements, or event information to journalists, stakeholders, or the public. They are designed to present facts in a concise, neutral manner and to facilitate media coverage by providing ready-to-use information.

Typical contents of a tiedote include a headline, date, the main message, essential facts (who, what, where, when, why), quotes from a spokesperson, and contact information for media inquiries. The tone is formal and objective, and the text is written to be easily repurposed by journalists into news articles or blog posts.

Distribution of tiedotteita occurs through various channels such as press lists, media distribution services, organization websites, and official press rooms. Journalists often use them as a source of information for reporting, while organizations may issue tiedotteita to manage communications during events, announcements, or crises. Boilerplate information about the organization is commonly included to provide context.
