Tiesitte

Tiesitte is a term used in information design and organizational communications to describe a brief, standardized notice intended to relay essential information about a topic to a broad audience. The aim is rapid comprehension and easy reuse across channels, so tiesittes typically employ concise language, a defined structure, and metadata that helps indexing and aggregation. Although the term is not tied to a single country, it has gained usage in professional circles in several European languages as a practical label for short-form updates.

A typical tiesitte includes a clear headline, a short summary (one to two sentences), a compact list of key facts such as dates, locations, numbers, and actions required, followed by source links or references and contact information. The notices are designed to be skimmed quickly and to be repurposed in newsletters, websites, social feeds, and alerts. They may also carry publication and expiration dates and tags for subject areas.

In practice, tiesittes are used by government agencies, corporations, non-profits, and media organizations to communicate routine announcements, policy changes, event notices, or emergency updates without waiting for a full press release. They are intended to complement longer communications rather than replace them. Critics caution that overuse can lead to oversimplification or confusion if essential context is omitted.
