pääjuttu

Pääjuttu is a Finnish word that translates directly to "main story" or "headline story." It is commonly used in journalism and media to refer to the most important or prominent piece of news in a publication, broadcast, or website. This could be the lead article on the front page of a newspaper, the first story in a news broadcast, or the featured article on the homepage of a news website.

The selection of the pääjuttu often depends on factors such as the perceived significance of the event, its potential impact on the public, and its timeliness. It is intended to capture the reader's or viewer's attention immediately and convey the most crucial information. In some contexts, the term can also be used more broadly to describe the central theme or main point of a discussion, report, or event. The concept of a pääjuttu is fundamental to news dissemination, guiding audiences towards what is considered most essential at any given moment.
