A nut graf is slang used in the journalism community in regards to a paragraph or sentence that is a part of an article in newspapers and magazines. That paragraph summarizes the basics of the story, without giving away all of the details. It puts that story into context and tells the reader why the story itself is important. It helps to convince the reader to continue reading the story or article.
The nit graf follows the story's who, what, when, where and how, serving as the why of the story. It follows the lead, since it helps to continue to provide context for the story. The nut graf helps to determine what the story is about, which is beneficial for both the reader and the writer.
