Newsbiscuit Writer of the Month May 2024



Another great month for Deskpilot, and this time he doesn't have to share first place. In fact, he is far and away in the lead by a country mile. SteveB has had a cracking month, too, scoring in all of the categories.


Eppursimuove has had a fantastic month as well with five front pages and six NiBs.


As usual, the full list of links to these subs are below the leaders board, as is the link to the cartoon of the month and the full list of headlines for this month
