Paul Hendriks Vettehen investigates the consequences of the new information environment on information selection and processing. With the rise of broadband and mobile communication, individuals are increasingly exposed to an endless stream of information, which has become more saturated and personally directed. The competition for attention in this high-paced information landscape is intense, making it essential for citizens to receive relevant information to function democratically. Vettehen's research addresses how technological devices enhance the immersion of information reception, with larger and high-definition screens and surround sound systems. Furthermore, he explores the implications of this surge in information on how governments, news organizations, and political actors respond to the challenges presented by the information explosion.
