This just in: Reuters reports tentative deal in writer's strike

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The union representing striking Hollywood writers said Saturday it had reached a "tentative deal" with the studios after a three-month walkout that has crippled television production, hurt the local economy and overshadowed the awards season.

"While this agreement is neither perfect nor perhaps all that we deserve for the countless hours of hard work and sacrifice, our strike has been a success," the Writers Guild of America said in a memo emailed to members.


United Hollywood, the Writer's Guild blog is confirming that with this post:
  • Letter From The Presidents With Deal Summary

    Initial comments on the blog indicate some questions from members. Not surprising. A union contract settlement rarely has all the members in agreement over how good it is. But let's hope whatever questions there are are worked out fairly easily.

    And again, congrats to both sides.
