LinkedIn has revised its contributions badge system to ensure that it accurately reflects real-time users' impact, encouraging high-quality contributions that align with the platform's guidelines. The move follows the controversial termination of the Community Top Voices badge, which acknowledged contributions to Collaborative Articles. Additionally, the introduction of LinkedIn News Storylines and a testing phase for a News Banner will help users find trending stories to comment on, positioning them as subject matter experts and enhancing their visibility within their networks.
This change encourages consistent, high-quality contributions while aligning with LinkedIn's guidelines. The renewal process ensures the badge remains a real-time reflection of impact.
LinkedIn considers commentary on news stories a form of subject matter expertise, making LinkedIn News Storylines a valuable tool for those aiming to earn a badge.
Identifying the best stories to comment on for visibility is becoming much easier with the rollout of the News Banner that highlights developing stories.
Since the fall, LinkedIn has been testing a News Banner, which directs users to curated articles and posts from publishers, journalists, and creators.
