Dual screening can be described as "the complex bundle of practices that involve integrating, and switching across and between, live broadcast media and social media” (Vaccari, Chadwick, & O'Loughlin, 2015).

What is dual screening?

Dual screening is a media practice that is inherently connected to the 'hybrid media system'. In it simplest definition, it is about politicians, activists, journalists and citizen using digital media to inform themselves and others about certain issues discussed in the legacy media.
