Identifying developing pattern of second screen

Abstract

In recent years, changes have occurred in the TV-watching paradigm. One of the most important changes is the second screen that accompanies the watching. the second screening is the new experience of watching television, allowing the viewer to interact in a different way with a television program. the present study has been done by deep and semi-structured interviews with 21 managers of five private TV networks in Afghanistan and 20-second screen users and TV audiences to identify the factors affecting the promotion and development of the second screen to increase the interaction of TV audiences in Afghanistan. The factors affecting the promotion and development of the second screen in Afghanistan are classified into six categories: the features of the second screen, the factors that predispose the second screen, the second screen deterrent, the second screen development strategies, and the consequences of second screen development. And also factors of developer (individual, organizational, environmental) and restrictive factors (individual, organizational, environmental) are separated in this study. And on the other hand, expanding of second screening empowers audiences to shape public narratives alongside news organizations and political elites.
