A Nut Graf is a journalism term that was created from the expression, "in a nutshell" meaning all at once or in one paragraph. This expression was created in the 19th century and has been used since then. In the news style writing and the essential facts of the story are included in the lead of the story.
The Nut Graf is included inside the lead of the story.
When writing in the feature style the story will start off more indirect and explain something related to the topic. In this type of writing the Nut Graf is most of the time started in the third or fourth paragraph. Also in this type of writing the Nut Graf doesn't include all of the information and will slowly explain the rest of the information through out the story to keep the reader interested through out the whole story.
