The second week of the trial run for NQFF. Are the lists of followers helpful, or are you just interested in the stories? I ask as the lists of twitter accounts take far longer to format than the stories. The reason I’m including them is that I thought it might be handy if you wanted to follow people sharing the stories or papers you’re most interested in, but I don’t know if this is going to happen.

Anyway, here’s this week’s most popular stories and papers, dominated by the Guardian to begin with.
