“Information Overload” (IO), which is the subject of a limited number of studies in the field of communication and journalism, is a problem that prevents individuals from using information effectively and effectively. Although citizens have greater access to news in the media, they may find it difficult to find news that will meet their expectations, demands and needs in a media environment where information is abundant and intense. Therefore, the excessive amount of news also draws attention to the problem of “News Information Overload” (NIO). In the study, a field study was conducted at Atatürk University in order to reveal the differences and connections between the perceptions of General Information Overload (GIO) and NIO. The perception of GIO is relatively higher among women, those between the ages of 25 and 29, and people with generally high monthly communication costs. In addition, it has been determined that women and people with high monthly spending rates tend to increase their perception of NIO. There is no change in the perception of both burdens according to the situation of following daily news from new and traditional communication tools. perception of GIO and perception of NIO are interrelated problems.
