Prominent news feature — about power cut (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

splash

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prominent news feature' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'about power cut' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'cut' becomes 'slash' (synonyms).
'p' put inside 'slash' is 'SPLASH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for splash that I've seen before include "Small amount of soda water etc" , "big front page news" , "Watery sound" , "Small amount of something liquid" , "Spend freely or make wet" .)
