mediajutuissa

Mediajutuissa is a Finnish term used to refer to coverage of a topic in the media. It is a compound of media and juttu (story, item) and is inflected as mediajutuissa in the inessive plural, meaning “in media stories” or “in media coverage.” The phrase serves to describe how a subject is presented across journalistic pieces rather than the events themselves.

In use, mediajutuissa is common in journalism and media studies when discussing how topics are framed, emphasized, or how much attention they receive across outlets or over a period. It can be employed to analyze tone, framing, or the range of perspectives reflected in reporting. The expression helps distinguish between actual developments and their portrayal in news coverage.

Morphology and related forms: the base juttu refers to a single story, while mediajutut refers to multiple media stories in nominative form. Mediajutuissa specifically marks the location “in media stories.” Other related forms include mediajuttua (partitive) or mediajutuissa referring to multiple items in inessive case.

Notes and context: mediajutuissa is not a technical term but a natural, widely understandable phrase in Finnish discourse about journalism. It is useful in discussions of media representation, press freedom, and public discourse, where researchers or commentators examine how topics appear in news coverage across outlets.
