Debate topics (6)
I believe the answer is:
issues
'debate topics' is the definition.

(Other definitions for issues that I've seen before include "Important questions, in a dispute say" , "Important questions or periodic publications" , "Sends out, or matters of concern" , "Editions or important questions" , "Distributes, sends out" .)
