Focus of public attention (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spotlight

(Other definitions for spotlight that I've seen before include "Beam directed on small area or on stage performer" , "It illuminates a small area" , "Illumination focused on small area" , "Stage actor may be in it" , "put in the public eye" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
