Weekly is a bit hard to do as we have to slog through a number of stories on a daily basis and sometimes don't have the time to look into other stories. Monthly allows us a bit of breathing room and lets us pick a story that really gets to us/is well-told. If it were weekly, I don't think we'd have the ability to effectively highlight a story.
