How to output first segment title/channel name of entry?

Question

For example, I have channel entry https://site.dev/news/2017/test and I would like to output "News" section name on entry page.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it should be as simple as:

{{ entry.section.name }}

Thanks. It was so simple. Do you have an idea how can I list section name also at section index page? Tried something like this but without effect {% if craft.request.getSegment(2) is defined %}{{ entry.section.name }}{% else %}{{ title }}{% endif %}

Depends if you have an entry associated with your index page, or just a template file? You might need something like {{ craft.entries.section('slug').first().name }}.

Hey, I just found a solution. It was just {% if entry.section.name is defined %}{{ entry.section.name }}{% else %}{{ title }}{% endif %}
