This is a big increase compared to a week ago, as we added nearly 1,000 stories this week. The top 5 correspondents who have posted the most news stories this month are (in order) Derek, Eric, Patrick, Pat and Espen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fixed bug:<\/strong> Previously, when looking at news from a particular country, if you selected &#8216;all languages&#8217; it would only show English stories in the top 10, on the left side the page.
