Writers Press Their Case In Hollywood

The Writers Guild of America wants something from Hollywood. “What do they want? Residuals. Specifically, they want a piece of the new-media pie. That’s online reruns and secondary content like webisodes, mobisodes, minisodes, and character blogs — all the goodies you can get on your laptop, cell phone, and iPod. When do they want it? By October 31, when the WGA’s current three-year contract with the studios expires.”
