Nut Graf

 Most nut grafs are a single paragraph long. It explains what the story is and why someone should want to read it. It gives the reader enough information about the story so they can decide if they want to keep reading it or not. A nut graf justifies the story, explains the lead, develops a transition from the lead, and often includes supporting material. The writer must anticipate the reader's questions and concerns and address them. It steps back from the detailed lead and describes an overview of the whole story. t serves as the lead for the highest level of the inverted pyramid.
        Many journalists believe the nut graf, or "nut paragraph" is the most important section of a story since it draws readers in and convinces them to read the full story.
