“…Furthermore, individual traits such as age, gender, and income are related to perceptions of information overload ( Holton & Chyi, 2012 ; Ji et al, 2014 ; Schmitt et al, 2018 ). Although the influence of individual factors differs among countries, people who are younger, female, less affluent, and less educated generally experience higher levels of news overload ( Goyanes, 2014 ; Ji et al, 2014 ; S. K. Lee et al, 2016 ; Schmitt et al, 2018 ). In addition, people with lower information-seeking self-efficacy ( Schmitt et al, 2018 ) and news efficacy ( Park, 2019 ) are more likely to experience news overload.…”

“…Information overload refers to “receiving too much information” ( Eppler & Mengis, 2004 , p. 326); it occurs if the amount of information exceeds the recipient’s cognitive capacities to process it, leading to negative feelings, such as distress ( Eppler & Mengis, 2004 ; Jackson & Farzaneh, 2012 ). Correspondingly, news overload refers to feeling overwhelmed with the amount of news available ( Goyanes, 2014 ; Ji et al, 2014 ). Several studies have shown that news overload causes news avoidance ( A. M. Lee et al, 2019 ; Song et al, 2017 ).…”

“…En 1970 Toffler ya vaticinó algunas de las implicaciones que suponían los cambios tecnológicos. En el ámbito de la información periodística, diversa fue la terminología aportada tanto desde el punto de vista académico como del profesional: sobrecarga informativa (information overload) (Toffler, 1970;Goyanes, 2014;Benaissa, 2017), intoxicación informacional (Cornella, 1999) o intoxicación informativa (Figueroa, 2006). Con el paso del tiempo y gracias a la (r)evolución de las tecnologías ha surgido un nuevo concepto, el de "inteligencia artificial" (IA), que aunque es relativamente reciente ya que data de la década de 1950, progresivamente ha ido adquiriendo distintos significados.…”
