Abstract

Watching television and tweeting at the same time changes the nature of the media experience; thus, this quantitative research applies a frequency analysis and the seminality index to describe the evolution of this convergence between 2013 and 2017 in Chilean political shows. The comparison showed an increase in tweeting rates in second screening, while TV shows stopped managing their official accounts. This behavior shows a growing autonomy of both screens, consistent with Jenkins' convergency concept: Making connections among dispersed media contents.
