disagree  CGagnon: La publicité fait valoir quelque chose à venir ou en cours. L'écho, c'est la réaction à quelque chose qui a eu lieu.

"Le fait dont on a le plus parlé..." or "l'évènement qui a fait couler le plus d'encre.."


Explanation:
Beware of the accents in "évènement".
"Faire couler de l'encre" has become a catch phrase in French media.
