инфодемия


Definition from btvnovinite.com:
Инфодемия е събирателно на думите "епидемия" и "информация". В ситуация на инфодемия медийното пространство е изпълнено с прекомерен обем информация за конкретен проблем, което прави търсенето на решение и обективност доста по-трудно.

Example sentence(s):
  • В началото на февруари Световната здравна организация нарече разпространението на фалшиви новини за коронавируса "инфодемия". - eurocom.bg  
  • Коронавирусът може да се нарече първата истинска „инфодемия”, след като пороищата от информация и коментари по темата създадоха повече паника от който и да е друг „глобален” вирус досега. - technews.bg  
  • „Инфодемия“ – епидемия от паника в медиите, наричат вече цялата стихия от последните седмици в Европа специалистите. - 19min.bg
