The first and most visible page of a newspaper, magazine, etc.; front matter: a front-page article. From the OED:
The biggest stories of the day make it to the front-page, but if something big happens in another country, a newspaper might tease that story on the front page and let the reader find out more on page 7 or 9. The website Reddit describes itself as ‘the front-page of the Internet’, but there is also an English Wikipedia front page. See also back page. Of major importance; worthy of the front page: a string of front-page Watergate articles that revealed hush-money payments to burglars; the New York Times revelation of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. Also attributable to President Castro: a front-page drive to the offices of Revolucion to dictate a message for his citizens to read in the morning paper.
