Question

What key words might you use to conduct an internet search to research and understand some of the topics in this article better?

Answer 1

Next football season, Amazon will livestream 10 Thursday night National Football League games.
This deal could mark a big change for football fans. For many years, TV was the place to watch live
football.
The online company paid $50 million to the NFL for the rights to show these games. They beat out
competitors Facebook and Twitter. Fans will be able to watch the games on the Amazon website.
They will need to subscribe to the company's Amazon Prime service.
"Moving Into The World Of Media"
Amazon company started in 1994. They sell many items such as clothing and electronics. People
can have things delivered to them. They do not have to take the time to shop in stores. Since
Amazon started, the online shopping trend has gotten bigger. Consumers shop in stores less than
they used to.

For some time, Amazon has been moving into the world of media. Customers can pay to view
thousands of movies and TV shows on the site. Some are originals produced by Amazon Studios.
People watch regular TV less than they used to. Video streaming services such as Netflix and
Amazon Prime are very popular. These services have not considered showing live sports very
much.
Streaming Used To Be Bad
Galen Clavio runs the sports journalism program at Indiana University in Bloomington,
Indiana. He expects live sports to be the "last big domino to fall" in media. Clavio thinks
traditional TV has had the upper hand in live broadcasting sports games.
Many movies and TV shows can be watched online now. People like the fact they can watch what
they want at any time. Yet, most sports fans would rather watch a game while it is happening, says
Clavio. This has helped many TV stations stay in business the past 10 years. Advertisers pay them
for commercials during the games. For a while, it was difficult to show sports live online.
Sometimes the streaming quality was poor. People couldn't get a good view of the game. Websites
would record the sports and show them later. Digital streaming of live events has improved
greatly, though. TV does not have the advantages it used to.
The improvements in streaming technology give Amazon a special opportunity. They can be one of
the first to enter the online sports streaming business. They might not make big profits right away,
though.
TV Rules During Football Season
Last year, Twitter held the streaming rights to 10 Thursday football games. Twitter and the NFL
said the live streaming experiment was a success. That success was not great, though. The games
pulled in less than 300,000 viewers per minute on the social media platform. Twitter had about
310 million active users at the time.
Those same games attracted an average of 15.8 million viewers on NBC and CBS. That sounds like
TV did much better than Twitter. The numbers could be even worse for Amazon's football season.
While Twitter was able to show the football stream for free to any of its users, Amazon's football
audience will be limited. They will only stream the games to paying subscribers of Amazon Prime.
There are about 40 million members who are already paying $99 a year or $10.99 a month for the
service.
A Future Leader In Live Sports?
In spite of the possible drawbacks, Amazon is still paying $50 million for the streaming rights to
the games. That is five times the $10 million Twitter paid last season. It might not pay off in the
short term, says Clavio. Amazon seems to think this move will earn them money in the long run.
"I don't think people will look at the ratings for Amazon's streaming and say that it's a bad move or
a failure," Clavio says. He says they will see Amazon streaming NFL games and "suddenly start to
think of Amazon as a place to go for that sort of programming." It could lead to Amazon drawing
more customers to its site in the long run.

I assume you need to conduct an internet research about the given article, and its asking you what type of words would you pull out from the article itself to do that research and what words would you think are most helpful to allow you to understand the topic thoroughly.

I would say that you should use words that hint at the main idea, just by glancing at it, I see words like amazon and football repeating, may that can help you out.
