Writers Strike Underway
For the first time since 1988, Hollywood writers are on strike. And their work stoppage could affect everything from soap operas to sitcoms to late night talk shows. (The previous strike cost the industry in the vicinity of half a billion dollars in lost revenue.) The Writers Guild of America is looking for a bigger portion of DVD profits and revenue from the distribution of films and TV shows over the Internet for its members. Our best wishes to the WGA and may their stay on the picket line be a swift one.
