Abstract
El objeto del presente artículo es profundizar en los hábitos de consumo informativo
que se perfilan en estudiantes del grado de comunicación en Colombia, Perú y Venezuela,
en particular sobre la tendencia a la infoxicación y sobresaturación informativa de
su propio ecosistema comunicativo, así como indagar sobre las competencias comunicativas
que han obtenido en su formación. La metodología se centró en un cuestionario autoadministrado
digital de carácter cuantitativo, aplicado a 1.603 estudiantes de tercer año en
universidades privadas de Medellín, Lima y Caracas. Entre las principales conclusiones se
destaca un intensivo consumo de internet y redes sociales que supera las cinco horas diarias,
con especial atención a que la mayor parte de los contenidos recibidos a través de sus redes
son pseudoinformaciones y que la formación en competencias mediáticas para el consumo
informativo se hace preminentemente de manera autodidacta.
This paper proposes to examine the information consumption habits emerging in journalism students in Colombia, Peru and Venezuela, in particular the trend of infoxication and information overload in their communication ecosystem and also to analyze the medialiteracy skills acquired over their training. The methodology focused on a digital selfadministered quantitative questionnaire, applied to 1,603 third-year students of journalism at universities in Medellin, Lima and Caracas. Key findings are intensive use of Internet and social media that exceeds 5 hours a day, with especial attention to the fact that most of the content received through these networks is pseudo-information and stressing that media literacy training for informative consumption is preeminently self-taught.
