Dear Network,

According to a 2025 review compiled by LinkedIn that I just had the chance to have a glimpse at, I have been named a ‘Catalyst’ thanks to the content that I provision my LinkedIn followers and connections with.

To cite from the LinkedIn ‘year in moments: milestones, connections, and everything in-between,’ 5,578 posts that I have filed in 2025 lit the feed, which put me among the top 5 percent of LinkedIn contributors. I also made 5,117 reactions. Overall, my engagement led to almost 2,000 new followers, as the year en cours is coming to a close.

I now count more than 8,700 followers and almost as many connections, according to LinkedIn analytics. I might add that my posts attracted more than 692,000 impressions these past 365 days. These are to be attributed to, mostly, Senior Leaders such as Professors and Faculty, Researchers, and NGO Staff.

I am happy to continue informing you on the subjects of dis-/misinformation, countering hate and extremism in the years to come. Many thanks to LinkedIn – but first and foremost to my readers.

I wish you happy holidays this end of the year 2025, all the best and continued success!

Sincerely,
Thorsten Koch, MA, PgDip
