Uutisiksi

Uutisiksi is a Finnish translative form derived from the noun uutinen, meaning "news." In Finnish grammar, the suffix -ksi marks a change of state or a role, so uutisiksi expresses "into news" or "as news." It is most often used with verbs that describe turning something into news or presenting it as news.

Common constructions include muuttaa uutisiksi (to turn into news), tehdä uutisiksi (to make into news), and tulla uutiseksi (to become news). For example: Tieto muuttui uutiseksi. (The information became news.) Huhut muuttuivat uutisiksi, kun viranomaiset ottivat ne esiin. (The rumors became news when authorities brought them forward.)

Usage and nuance: Uutisiksi is typically found in journalistic or media-discourse contexts. It describes the act of framing or reporting information so that it is treated and presented as news, rather than as opinion or speculation. The phrasing can carry a neutral description of a transformation or, depending on context, a critical note about how information is being framed as news.

Relation to related terms: The form is connected to uutinen (news item), uutisoida (to report news), and uutisointi (the process of turning information into news). While uutisiksi is a grammatical form, its usage helps to convey how content is recontextualized within media coverage.
