“…Another strand of literature suggests that second screening for news generally promotes political engagement. It is positively related to online political participation (Fitzgerald & Clarke, 2012; Gil de Zúñiga et al, 2015; Vaccari, Chadwick, & O’Loughlin, 2015), it provides alternative spaces for political discussion (D’heer & Courtois, 2016; D’heer & Verdegem, 2014; Iannelli & Giglietto, 2015), and it promotes online content creation (Freelon & Karpf, 2015; Giglietto & Selva, 2014). Additionally, second screening may enhance engagement with and enjoyment of news content (Auverset & Billings, 2016; Choi & Jung, 2016; Horning, 2017), and it may be influential in terms of helping people to form opinions about the event they are watching (Barnidge, Gil de Zúñiga, & Diehl, 2017).…”
