Newsbiscuit Writer of the Month July 2024



Deskpilot continues his winning streak and as he forfeited the crown last month thanks to the Wren rule he can rightfully step up on the top podium this month. I have a sneaking feeling Deskpilot is going to sweep the awards in the New Year WOTY competition. SteveB has had a good month chasing Deskpilot and I had a bit of a pitch earlier on in the month.


As usual all the links are below for the FPs, NiBs and Features plus this month cartoon of the month and the full list of headlines.
