1. Hollywood writers reach tentative deal with studios to end strike
The Writers Guild of America declared victory on Sunday after reaching a tentative deal with the major Hollywood studios that would end a months-long strike. The proposed three-year contract, which must still be ratified by the union’s 11,500 members, would boost pay and residual checks for streaming shows and impose new rules about the use of artificial intelligence. WGA leaders said they were going through the contract details to ensure that "the last 'i' is dotted." The studios are expected to focus now on breaking an impasse to end a tandem strike by the actors union, SAG-AFTRA. The rare dual strikes forced studios to delay TV and movie productions, as well as major film releases because striking actors can't promote their films. Los Angeles Times
