Italian term or phrase: notizia di copertina
Sto cercando di tradurre appropriatamente la locuzione "notizia di copertina". Con ciò si intende la notizia principale del giorno di una data testata giornalistica. Il contesto è questo:

* "Il giornalista è stato autore di varie notizie di copertina".

Pensavo "top news", "heading news", "opening news", "lead news"... ma ho difficoltà a selezionare più adatta. Qualche idea?

Grazie ;)
