A story or picture that is important enough to be on the front page of a newspaper. Usually the top stories in the country that the paper is circulated in, but if something really significant happens somewhere else in the world it can find space there too. The front pages of some newspapers will also tease other interesting stories inside the edition. The term is also used to refer to a section of a website such as Reddit, which describes itself as the front page of the Internet.
“It’s not the way you want to be front-page news, I’d sooner it was for five wickets or a century,” said Woakes.
