Is there a word that denotes or describes the most important point in the newspaper opinion section?



For instance, have a look at the screenshot of the piece of opinion from DAWN:



Screenshot



In the picture above, I have enclosed the bold and enlarged point of the opinion written by A.G Noorani. How do you describe such points?



I, by researching and asking question, could get a single word describing such point: core point. Can I describe it (the point which is enclosed in red loop in the picture uploaded above) as a core point? Or are there other better alternatives to it?

    There is a specific term for the way you handled it as far as layout goes - pull quote. But it sounds like you want a term for the content of such a box.

In terms of graphic design, the text framed in red is called a pull quote, a common technique to break up large areas of text that also functions as a secondary headline to attract the reader to an article.



The relationship of the highlighted text to the article depends on who wrote it, which in most publications would not be the author of the article itself.



In this case, with only a single pull quote, it functions as an explanatory or summary subtitle:




Banning Books: A new form of censorship has emerged …
