In 2011, Nielsen Media today is an increasingly vital part of the entertainment Research reported the monthly cumulative audience for many. To appreciate the importance, consider that for the top three cable news networks. Though the bar it is now possible to replay the social conversation was set somewhat higher than the average viewership around a show after it has aired. Tomorrowish bills reported by HPL (Nielsen only counted people itself as the first social media DVR, and allows users watching for an hour or more in the month), the watching a program on-demand to synchronize the audience’s size was very close to television.

A user can even filter the social stream to include only the most popular tweets and Facebook posts. Tomorrowish shows that for many the conversation around a TV show is as vital as the show itself. However, for certain content types, social media is changing the experience of video entirely. Rather than simply cultivating the conversation around the video, the content provider is making the social experience a part of it. HuffPost Live (HPL) was conceived with exactly that idea in mind. In some respects it is the essential ingredient, according to Others are also tapping into the opinions of the Roy Sekoff: “Obviously you can make a difference in audience to shape the content.

  • Taming Distraction: the Second Screen Assemblage, Television
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183-2439) 2016, Volume 4, Issue 3, Pages 185-198 Doi: 10.17645/mac.v4i3.538 Article Taming Distraction: The Second Screen Assemblage, Television and the Classroom Markus Stauff Media Studies Department, University of Amsterdam, 1012 XT, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 19 December 2015 | Accepted: 18 April 2016 | Published: 14 July 2016 Abstract This article argues that television’s resilience in the current media landscape can best be understood by analyzing its role in a broader quest to organize attention across different media. For quite a while, the mobile phone was consid- ered to be a disturbance both for watching television and for classroom teaching. In recent years, however, strategies have been developed to turn the second screen’s distractive potential into a source for intensified, personalized and social attention. This has consequences for television’s position in a multimedia assemblage: television’s alleged speci- ficities (e.g. liveness) become mouldable features, which are selectively applied to guide the attention of users across different devices and platforms. Television does not end, but some of its traditional features do only persist because of its strategic complementarity with other media; others are re-adapted by new technologies thereby spreading televisu- al modes of attention across multiple screens. The article delineates the historical development of simultaneous media use as a ‘problematization’—from alternating (and competitive) media use to multitasking and finally complementary use of different media. Additionally, it shows how similar strategies of managing attention are applied in the ‘digital classroom’. While deliberately avoiding to pin down, what television is, the analysis of the problem of attention allows for tracing how old and new media features are constantly reshuffled.
