Story about millions coming to land gets attention (9)
I believe the answer is:
limelight
'attention' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Public attention' mean 'limelight' so perhaps 'attention' could also mean 'limelight')
'story about millions coming to land' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'lie' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'millions' becomes 'm' (abbreviation).
'coming to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'land' becomes 'light' (lighting is a kind of landing).
'lie' going around 'm' is 'lime'.
'lime'+'light'='LIMELIGHT'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for limelight that I've seen before include "Intense publicity like stage illumination" , "Focus of attention" , "Chaplin 1952 film" , "Media attention" , "A theatrical glower" .)
