Spotlight

A spotlight is a focused beam of light used to illuminate a specific subject or area, or a public focus of attention on a particular person, issue, or topic.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news as a metaphor for the current public focus on topics like AI governance, wildlife conservation, women's health, nuclear policy, and market trends.
