Abstract

From the first months of 2020, we are facing one of the biggest pandemics since the First World War: Covid-19. It was preceded by the Spanish flu of 1918-1920, which left between 20 and 50 million dead, according to the World Health Organization. We are also suffering the political aftermath of the global instability of the Trump presidency, in addition to not yet having recovered from the effects of one of the most severe financial crises in recent years. And while these events have yet to be overcome, we are witnessing the most tense moment in Europe since World War II, with one of the biggest transformations in the world. World War II, with one of the biggest transformations in a changing international order as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. With all this, media consumption has increased considerably worldwide, and our country has also experienced this phenomenon, which is starting to become a new scenario in the new information societies, generating, as a consequence, a high activation of anxiety and stress (Shamash, 2015).
