Uutisjutuun

Uutisjutuun is the illative form of the Finnish noun uutisjuttu, which refers to a news story or report produced by a newsroom. In Finnish grammar, uutisjuttuun is used when the sentence expresses movement toward or inclusion in a news article, for example when adding information to the article or directing content into it. The base term uutisjuttu denotes a standard news report.

In journalism, a uutisjuttu typically reports current events in a concise, neutral tone. It is distinguished from opinion pieces and features by its emphasis on verifiable facts, attribution, and the absence of editorial commentary. The lead usually summarizes the most important facts, followed by background, quotes from sources, and additional context.

Structure and style: A typical uutisjuttu begins with a lead that answers the essential questions who, what, where, when, why, and how, followed by details and supporting information. It aims for clarity and objectivity, often using direct quotes and straightforward language. The narrative is usually in the third person, and the timing of reporting may determine present or past tense.

Relation to related terms: A shorter item can be called uutinen, while a longer, more in-depth piece may be an artikkeli or reportage. Juttu is a generic term for a piece of writing; uutisjuttu specifies a news report within that broader category.

Usage and platforms: Uutisjutut appear in newspapers, news websites, radio, and television scripts. Editors and journalists follow style guides and ethical standards, with bylines, timestamps, and source attribution common elements. The illative form uutisjuttuun appears mainly in Finnish syntax when describing the incorporation or location of information within the news article.
