Because of this article, I decided to review my settings. To avoid LinkedIn from sending out these dreadful 'In the news' emails, I had to mouse over 'account', then click 'Manage Privacy Settings'. Then you don't actually get privacy settings, but you get 'Account' (go figure.) So you have to click on 'Privacy' again. Then you get 16 different privacy related options. You need to click on 'Change' on "Notifying connections when you're in the news" and click on 'Yes'. And then you need to review all other 15 settings to make sure they don't do anything nefarious as well, if you're lucky. Very straightforward, really.
