Striking Writers Need Your Help
Target: Network ExecutivesSponsored by: Care2
Writers are the creative minds behind the shows and movies we all love to watch. But 12,000 entertainment writers have been on strike since early November.
More and more TV shows are going to go off the air because of the stinginess of the studios.
Writers want fair compensation when their content is streamed on the Internet by the networks. Right now, writers get nothing for this work - even if it's written exclusively for online audiences - and the studios want to keep it that way.
It's estimated that the companies will bring in a whopping $4.6 billion over the next three years through the Internet - and they don't want to give the writers a penny.
Send a message to Hollywood executives: It's time to treat your writers fairly!

Great motion pictures require great writers. Compensation for their great literary works should be granted.

My favorite shows are my favorite due to the creativity of the wwriters and the producers---not those who own the studio!!! I stopped watching TV 3 months ago, tired of your reruns (certainly not creative there) and in protest of your treatment of the people who make you money. Without them, you are obviously nothing.

If you were the writer, would you do the job with the present working conditions? You need to have EMPATHY!
