The 📰 emoji goes beyond simply meaning 'news' to also symbolize 'the press' or 'credible information.' Therefore, it's more suitable for mentioning societal issues or official announcements rather than personal news.

People read online news more than paper newspapers these days, but this emoji is still actively used as an icon for 'big news' or a 'scoop.' It's effective for grabbing attention when sharing fun gossip among friends as "Today's scoop! 📰" or when making an important announcement.
