Support the Writers


The issue at the heart of the strike by members of the WGA is simple: will writers benefit from revenues that derive from the presentation of their work online? Considering the fact that just about every form of filmed entertaintment is migrating to the internet, this is clearly more than just an ancillary revenue stream. I hope that the studios see the sense in treating writers as creative partners and finding ways to share revenues fairly.
