LinkedIn Tests ‘News Banner’ Feature For Working Professionals

New Delhi: Online professional network LinkedIn on Tuesday announced that it is testing the ‘news banner’ in India to help professionals easily find and stay current on timely news stories.

The LinkedIn News Banner will appear at the top of the feed and highlight developing or timely news stories on the platform. Clicking on the banner will take members to a deeper dive featuring relevant articles and LinkedIn posts.

Curated by a trusted team of editors at LinkedIn, these include insights from top publishers and journalists. The feature will showcase stories from the last 24 hours, keeping members updated in real time.

Members can remove a story by clicking the “x” on the top-right corner, which will hide the banner for 24 hours. Notification preferences can also be adjusted in feed preferences settings.
