Who else has seen the memes on the new Facebook care emoji? Emoji holding boba, Netflix, money and beer among many other things. Well, I wanted to throw my own into the ring with some public radio-minded versions featuring WBUR, NPR and public radio in general.
The new emoji was announced by Alexandru Voica, a tech communications manager at Facebook when he tweeted that the company hopes “these reactions give people additional ways to show their support during the #COVID19 crisis.”
We’re launching new Care reactions on @facebookapp and @Messenger as a way for people to share their support with one another during this unprecedented time.

Feel free to share and show you care about public radio. In these times, it’s more important than ever.
