NYT on #writerstrike:
"The world of late-night television went dark last night, as thousands of Hollywood television and movie writers went on strike.

It would have to stretch for a longer time before viewers began to see the effects on scripted TV shows and movies 1/3

because the production process for them can take months or more than a year.

During the last strike, in 2007, late-night shows gradually came back after about two months, even with their writers still on picket lines. (That strike lasted 100 days.) 2/3

The biggest issue for the writers this time around is pay. They have said that their compensation has stagnated even as television production has rapidly grown over the past decade. 3/3

#Netflix may be better protected than its competitors because of how many unscripted and foreign series it has in production.
