The first page of a newspaper, magazine or other publication; front matter.
If you’re going to be front-page news, you’d rather it was for five wickets or a century.
The article on the front-page of yesterday’s paper contained some truly outrageous allegations.
If an article or picture appears on the front page of a newspaper, it is of major importance and interesting.
The front page of a newspaper usually contains the biggest news stories from the country in which it is circulated, but if something really significant happens somewhere else in the world, that might find space on the front page too. The front page will often tease other stories inside the edition too.
The noun front-page is also used of a website. For example, Reddit calls itself the front page of the Internet.
