It is difficult to avoid the news these days. Some cable television stations report on the news 24 hours a day. The internet has a nearly endless supply of news websites. It also is easy to find all kinds of news stories on social media. When combined, all of this information appears to make many Americans feel very tired or fatigued. You might say they suffer from ‘information overload.’ A recent survey found that nearly 70 percent of those questioned said they felt fatigued by the amount of news. But the remaining 30 percent said they like the amount of news they get. The findings come from the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C.
