What might provide recent magazine feature? (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

centre spread

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

'magazine feature?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'what might provide recent' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'recent' is 'centre' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'spread' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for centre spread that I've seen before include "Magazine's middle pages" , "Part of newspaper" , "Big article" , "Pair of facing pages in the middle of a magazine" , "magazine feature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
