Pickets Down

The Writers Guild of America late Sunday evening announced a tentative agreement with the major studios. The Guild has said that it got most of what it wanted, including increased pay for writers on streaming content, minimum staffing requirements for TV shows, and guarantees from the studios over the use of artificial intelligence. We’re joined by WGA member Vicky Luu to talk about her reaction to the deal and more.

And in headlines: the shooter who killed 23 people in a racist attack at an El Paso Walmart in 2019 has been ordered to pay over $5 million to the victims and their families, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez said he won’t resign after being charged with bribery, and Governors Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis are going head-to-head on the debate stage in November.
