lehdistötiedotteesta

Lehdistötiedotteesta is the elative form of the Finnish word lehdistötiedote, which means a press release. In Finnish, the elative case is used to indicate source or origin, so lehdistötiedotteesta can be translated roughly as “from the press release” or “concerning the press release.” The phrase is common in Finnish journalism and public relations when referencing information that comes from an official release.

Linguistically, lehdistötiedote is a compound formed from lehdistö (press) and tiedote (notice or information). In the elative singular, the word becomes lehdistötiedotteesta by adding -sta/-stä to the stem. This form is used whenever the writer wants to attribute information to the press release or point readers to the release as a source. For example, sentences such as “Lehdistötiedotteesta ilmenee…” or “Lisätietoja löytyy lehdistötiedotteesta” are typical in Finnish texts.

In practical use, a lehdistötiedote typically contains news about a company, organization, product, event, or policy and is distributed to media outlets and the public. Journalists may summarize or quote from lehdistötiedotteesta, and references to the release help identify the origin of the information. The term is used across formal and semi-formal contexts, especially in reporting, communications, and public affairs.
