In this global village, easy access to news has resulted in many changes in the preferences and patterns of people for accessing news. Therefore, the present study has attempted to investigate the effects of news relevance, perceived quality, and news overloading on people's news curation preferences. This study has also examined the mediating role of news avoidance between the news relevance, perceived quality, and news overloading on the news curation. A quantitative technique has been employed to check the relationships proposed in the study. A sample size of 217 has been analyzed to check these hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that news relevance has a negative impact while news overload positively and significantly impact the news curation. However, the news avoidance only mediated the relationship of news quality and news curation. Theoretically, the study has contributed to the literature of journalism and social media by finding that relevance of news has a negative significant impact on the news curation behavior of people, such that if they do not find the news relevant, they happily curate it. Practically, the study implies that the people are more prone to the quality of news rather than quantity; therefore, it is important for the news agencies to ensure that they produce and deliver the quality based news considering the accuracy to penetrate the Theoretic lass level.
在这个地球村，新闻的便捷获取导致人们获取新闻的偏好和模式发生了许多变化。因此，本研究试图调查新闻相关性、感知质量和新闻过载对人们新闻筛选偏好的影响。本研究还考察了新闻回避在新闻相关性、感知质量和新闻过载对新闻筛选的影响之间所起的中介作用。采用定量技术来检验研究所提出的关系。分析了217个样本量以检验这些假设。研究结果表明，新闻相关性有负面影响，而新闻过载对新闻筛选有积极且显著的影响。然而，新闻回避仅在新闻质量和新闻筛选的关系中起中介作用。从理论上讲，该研究通过发现新闻相关性对人们的新闻筛选行为有负面显著影响，即如果他们认为新闻不相关，就会欣然筛选它，从而为新闻学和社交媒体文献做出了贡献。实际上，该研究意味着人们更倾向于新闻的质量而非数量；因此，新闻机构确保制作和提供基于质量且考虑准确性的新闻以突破理论层面很重要。
