How Emoji Credibility Indicators Add Context to HackerNoon Stories

Too Long; Didn't Read

As technology publishing platform, we work to facilitate value between reader and writer. Our new release of Emoji Credibility Indicators surfaces essential context to the content within every HackerNoon story. On the story page below the contributor bio, “Credibility” heading will appear with a corresponding custom emoji and tooltip to indicate relevant information about the story to the reader. If the reader hovers over the emoji + indicator descriptor (i.e. “👁️ Original Reporting”), the reader will see a sentence displaying what this indicator means about the story (i.e. “This story contains new, firsthand information uncovered by the writer.”). A story can have multiple emoji credibility indicators.
