📰

Newspaper Emoji 📰

A folded print edition, front page out, standing for the publication itself rather than any one headline it's carrying. It's shorthand for breaking news, gossip columns, and old-school journalism in a caption, and the default pick for dropping a link with 'have you seen this?'

What 📰 means

A folded black and white newspaper; with white background and the print and image(s) in black. The newspaper showcases a prominent masthead, a short headline, and a couple of paragraphs.

The 📰 Newspaper emoji signifies news; by the name itself, but it also symbolizes information, headlines, controversies, current affairs, journalism, and general knowledge.

How and when to use it

If you're texting someone about a particular person or situation that hit the headlines/grabbed the headlines and became a racket overnight, use 📰. For instance, "Are you kidding me?? You don't know about it?? It's been all over the media ever since it happened last night 📰".
You could also use 📰 while talking about how you or someone you know (or not), made the headlines. Like, "I'm quite proud to say that my little art finally made the headlines! 📰" or "She made it!!!! She made the headlines! 📰 And I couldn't be prouder!".
📰 could also be used as an indication of staying updated. For example, "That's so last year. Keep up with the pace, yo! 📰. Not that you'd be doomed if you don't, you'll at least not be lost :)".
While sharing the latest news (general or specific) as posts or reposts and any journalism-centric content, make sure to use this guy 📰.
Besides, 📰 could be used as a representation of any form of a newspaper, including tabloids.

Seeing a blank box instead of the emoji somewhere? Here's why that happens. Curious why the designs above don't match to begin with? Here's why that happens too.
