In the structure of written articles in journalism, the nut graph or nut graf (short for "nutshell paragraph") is a paragraph following the lede, or opening paragraph, that proceeds to explain the context of the news or other story "in a nutshell". The abbreviated term can be spelled in these two ways, but also in ways that join the words in these compound expressions (e.g., nutgraph).
