A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Journalistic jargon: hed, dek, lede, nut graf/nutgraf

Yes, but it’s standard journalist speak and predates this article by a long time.

"Lede" I've heard because of the common expression "burying the lede." You're telling me "graf" is standard language for published articles?

You're telling me "graf" is standard language for published articles?

And its unabbreviated form, "nut graf." Like, it's a legit thing. I mean...wow. Nut graf.
