The Writers Guild of America has announced that it will be striking for the first time in 15 years, with potential ramifications for TV and film production. The strike is over negotiations for fair pay in the streaming era, with writers saying they are not being paid enough, TV Writer rooms have shrunk too much, and the old calculus for how residuals are paid out needs to be redrawn. A strike could last for many months, but a shutdown has been widely forecast.
