About the News Microphone Handheld black filled icon

A handheld microphone tilts on a diagonal with a round mesh head at the top, a rectangular collar band where a station flag would clip on, and a long tapered handle running to the lower left. It signals live reporting, interviews and on-air commentary, which suits news portal section headers, press release pages, podcast and talk show listings, broadcast studio apps and journalism course materials.

The corner-to-corner diagonal gives the icon energy and fills the square frame, while the banded collar separates head from handle and distinguishes it from studio condenser mics. It pairs with camera, TV, newspaper and speech bubble icons from the same media set. At 24 px the head reads clearly; go larger if the collar band should stay visible.

This is the solid black filled version of the news microphone handheld icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.

It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
