Uudise

Uudise is an Estonian noun meaning a single piece of news or a news item. In journalism and media usage, it refers to one discrete report within a publication, broadcast, or online platform. The term is the singular form of uudis; its genitive singular is uudise and its plural is uudised. The word is used to distinguish an individual report from broader categories such as a collection of stories or entire news programs.

In common media language, uudise appears in phrases such as uudise pealkiri (the headline of the news item) and uudise sisu (the content of the news item). It is employed across various formats, including newspapers, radio, television, and online portals, to denote a standalone report that can be part of a larger news cycle.

Distinctions with related terms are subtle. Uudis (without the final e) often refers more generally to news as a concept or to a news item in an abstract sense, while uudised (the plural) can denote multiple news items or news in a broader sense. In practice, uudise is the term most commonly used when pointing to a specific, individual news item within a larger publication or broadcast.

Overall, uudise functions as a fundamental unit of Estonian news language, enabling precise reference to an individual report within the broader field of media and journalism.
