Jargon of the day: Spread
A spread is a big story with accompanying pictures and sidebars (mentioned in previous blog entry) that goes across the crease of two facing pages to combine them. Spreads are commonly found in magazines, but they can also be found in newspapers too.
A common spread that might appear in papers every year would be the day after the super bowl. In the sports section you might find a spread depicting the winning team with a story that covered the game and the big win for whatever team. There would be many pictures that goes along with this story and some sidebars, maybe about the teams stats or bio's on the star players.

I like how you define the different journalistic terms. Maybe you could elaborate a bit more on what a spread is.
