A front-page article is one that appears at the top of a newspaper or other publication. It is often used to tease stories elsewhere in the publication or to highlight a story that is particularly important or interesting.
In a more general sense, the term front-page can also mean a story or picture that is important and is of interest to many people but does not fit on any of the other pages of a publication such as a magazine or newspaper. This is in contrast to a back-page story, which refers to a story that is not of as much interest to many people and therefore does not appear on the front page of a publication.
The Microsoft program FrontPage is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor and web site administration tool that was sold by Microsoft and first released in 1996. Until 2006, FrontPage was part of the Microsoft Office suite. FrontPage Server Extensions were proprietary plug-ins that connected FrontPage to a web server and provided some additional functionality for websites. FrontPage has since been replaced by two products: Microsoft Expression Web and Microsoft SharePoint Designer.
In 2014, three Jane Does who had been sex trafficked as minors sued the online classified ad site Backpage for violating their civil rights. The lawsuit claimed that Backpage allowed the traffickers to use its website to post ads for sex. A court found that Backpage’s actions constituted traditional publisher functions and were shielded under CDA Section 230.
