  • Michael Klemm and Sascha Michel

Abstract

The paper discusses the role of the so-called “Social TV” or “Second Screen” for the communicative appropriation of political topics and politicians among TV viewers. Are there any structural and functional differences between the traditional TV viewers’ communication in the living-room and the utterances on Twitter while watching TV? This question will be discussed by analyzing Tweets concerning political talk shows on German TV. The analysis reveals that living-room and twittersphere as discourse arenas have many aspects in common – but also show severe differences.
