Articles that appear on the front page are typically deemed to be important, although whether something is considered ‘front-page news’ depends on the editorial direction of the newspaper (for example, tabloid papers might feature more celebrity gossip than a more serious paper) and its attitudes towards certain types of stories. The front page also hints at what other stories are included in the edition, and this can be useful for directing readers to specific types of content. A Web site may also have a front page that acts as its welcome mat, with links to other pages on the site and a search box.
