In journalism a nut graf is a paragraph that explains the context of the story. A nut graf also puts the story in context and tells the readers why the story is important. To many editors the nut graf is the most important part of the story because it tells the readers why they should continue reading the full story. A nut graf serves as many different purposes such as justifying the point of the story by directing readers to supporting material that helps readers see why the story is important. Also nut grafs provide a transition from the lead to the rest of the story. Finally nut grafs tells the readers why the story matters at this point in time.
