This chapter has described the scope of media operations related to eSports, including endemic, in-house and independent organizations. It underscores the importance of Twitch, and more broadly eSports place in the online community. As with all media in the 21st Century, key questions around sustainable business models abound. At the same time, journalistic independence in eSports newsgathering is warranted, given the volume of content produced by in-house and endemic media teams. Future studies of eSports media content should assess the nature of the news discourse related to important issues, especially around racism, misogyny and homophobia (see Chapter 6). Further key research questions to consider include:

1. Which business models show the clearest signs of sustainability?

2. How are eSports streamers and broadcasters advancing their production techniques to capture audience?

3. What are the predominant forms of content being produced, and how are they evolving?

4. To what extent do eSports media groups adhere to journalistic codes of conduct?
