Unofficial Newsbiscuit Writer of the Month Competition

Wren has performed fantastically this month, scoring 4 front pages and 8 NiBs.  Unfortunately Wren is currently balancing a virtual mug on his head.  So we have to award this month's virtual crown to the writer who is next on the leaderboard and, once again, it is Dominic_mcg who has scored 1 front page, 1 Nib and 17, yes 17, tickers.  Well done to the pair of you .  Also well done to YB, CC, AB and Nickb, as well as everyone else in double digits. As usual, I'll post all the tickers in the Chat room.

YB is following up strongly and is currently in the lead as far as the competition goes. Chrisf, Dom, Adriam Bamforth and Chipchase are all also in strong contention, so the final week should be a nail biter.
