The front page of a newspaper typically contains the biggest news stories of the day. It may also tease other articles inside the edition. In other publications, such as magazines and books, the front page usually contains the most important stories that are going to be read by a large audience.
When a celebrity has a scandal, it often makes front-page news. But the public often doesn’t understand what makes something front-page news. For example, the death of a young boy and the sexual assault of a teen are front-page news stories.
A new book about a politician is usually front-page news, but the public doesn’t always know why the story is important or why the politician is being investigated.
An event that is front-page news in one country may be back-page news in another country. This is because different cultures have different perspectives on what is important to their audiences.
In a class action lawsuit filed in 2014, three Jane Does accused Backpage of facilitating sex trafficking by posting ads for underage sex.

Microsoft FrontPage (full name Microsoft Office FrontPage) is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and website administration tool from Microsoft for Windows. It was first released in 1996 and is currently discontinued. FrontPage is no longer supported by Microsoft and has been superseded by two other software products, SharePoint Designer and Microsoft Expression Web. Microsoft continues to support the use of FrontPage Server Extensions with IIS, but those extensions are now part of the core product and no longer available as a standalone product.
