Th word nut graf, also spelt nut graph, comes from the saying "in a nutshell". The nut graf is meant to get the reader to continue reading the story by sharing the importance of the information. It basically is a giant "why", as in why does this article really matter? The beginning paragraph starts by giving essential facts such as the Who, What, Where, Why and How. The nut graf on the other hand gives information that is meant to support these facts. Information in this paragraph is still 100% relevant but goes deeper in explaining.
In the layout of your article the first lead paragraph or sentence would state what the article is going to be about as quickly and short as possible. The nut graf goes more in depth, however it does not tell all. It is important to not give all the rest of your information in the nut graf or else it will become repetitive and people will stop reading. Overall, it is important that you answer any questions that the reader might be having from the lead paragraph in the nut graf.
