Abstract

In order to run orderly in network society and meet people’s demand for beautiful and clear cyberspace, we need to pay more attention to this phenomenon. Under the background of epidemic situation, the reasons of network social information overload mainly come from four aspects: the tension, complexity and repeatability of epidemic information, the ecological environment of Internet attention economy, the push mechanism of network platform and the characteristics of demand satisfaction and differentiation of network audience. The consequences of epidemic information overload on the audience are as follows: it is easy to cause emotional problems of the audience and then affect physical and mental health; a large number of inferior false information may obscure the rational cognition of the audience and reduce the ability of the audience to deal with information. In the face of information overload, we need the joint efforts of network platform, network media, laws and regulations, and network audience.
