This clue might be a double definition.

'spatter liquid' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for splash that I've seen before include "sensational story" , "Bright patch of colour; fall in drops" , "Water raised by blow" , "big front page news" , "Small amount of something liquid" .)
