It’s more of a guideline than an ironclad rule, though. Two different sources might have different takes on the same thing and it is not rare to have more than one story about the same subject on the front page, for good reasons. The community (and the mods) seem to be very effective at filtering real duplicates.

But overwhelming the front page with multiple takes on a story (e.g., the Tver aircraft downing yesterday) would be tiresome, and even multiple takes on what's essentially the same story over a span of a few days or weeks can get tedious.

The critical qualifying exception is "significant new information": <>>8406835 >
