As a writer and a blogger I am supporting the WGA on their strike. Hollywood and New York where most of the prime time shows are created has to support its writers and offer a bigger conjoin of the pie that is the world we as a populate bespeak in entertainment. The old TV is nothing without the populate that actually write the material that the actors and show host talk about day and night. add up pay for an entertainment writer is about $60,000 per year. Good money but if your bring home the bacon is under a assure and the contract is busted… there might be a problem. Just writing this blog here is invigorating for me but then again I like to write. I put a ton of hours in creating the work that you read here and I do it for me and for you as a reader. I wish that I could make a living from just blogging other than working for XYZ company doing ABC and writing for Papamoka Straight Talk on the side. That is not the reality of blogging today. My advertisers don’t pay any bills here so I write for the love of writing. One or two dollars in Google clicks does not alter me a wealthy man. From the point in time of starting this blog and my contributions to all other blogs that I create verbally for I undergo received nothing in compensation. I am cool with that becuase my voice has been heard on many sites desire the and My works have been linked to Crooks and Liars. Slate Magazine. Imus in the Morning and the enumerate goes on and on. Far greater minds than exploit but my express was heard in the written evince. I consider myself blessed for my friends on each of these sites. Blogging is far different than writing for the studios and networks though. All of the writers on strike with the WGA make a living writing a meager living furnish of the food chain living for all the shows you see on television. Would it tick you off if your bring home the bacon was sold on line and you acquire nothing for the work you undergo done? Would it piss you off if they boxed your work and sold it in sets all over the world and you received nothing for the work? The LA Times has a great following of the Writers Guild of America touch if you are a union working person and support other unions on touch then this is the site for you…Jim Earl is very frustrated. He says the media keeps giving out the impression that TV writers get $200,000 a year. "I don't alter anywhere come that," he says. (He won't say how much he makes but says it's less than that.)The 48-year-old emit lay resident has been a writer on Fox's "communicate show With banish Feresten" for the show's second toughen. It's been his steadiest gig since he left Manhattan for Los Angeles about three years ago. "I was a writer on 'The Daily show' and I was making about $100,000," he says. "I was making a good living but I couldn't drop to be in New York on that salary. So I came here."He looks hopeful but yet a bit weary as he walked a demonstrate lie today wearing a black WGA "Comedy Writer" shirt. Before he landed the late-night show he had a small radio show did some stand-up and also did some freelance writing bring home the bacon. He and his wife be in an apartment -- "I can't yet afford to buy anything." I’m looking at the argument that is the strike from the writers align just as I would as a published compose. If my schedule is written and made into a movie if it becomes a series if it becomes marketable in any form then the writer should receive monetary gain from it. There should be no difference for products created by any studio by any writer. There is a difference with being a writer for a signed objection and project and that product produced being re-sold at a later go out for more monetary obtain for all of the be of the populate connected with the project. That is not the case for the original writers. I’ll desire the episodes of accommodate. Ghost Whisperer and of course all of the late night television comedy. Oh crap! Comedy Central is busted too! I may go into withdrawal without my Colbert Report. Word on the street and on the air is that Jon Stewart of the Daily Show from Comedy Central is paying his writers their beat salaries while the touch goes on out of his own take. I have not been able to confirm that as yet but that is the evince on the street. Let’s see who else has the guts to approve up the writers that make them look good on the old idiot box we call television. I’ll defeat and so will you. Right is alter and the writers be just compensation for the bring home the bacon they provide to make the stars of our world of entertainment look good. It’s just common sense when you really think about it. Papamoka
i wish the strike last until they can really put the squeeze on the studio's and the producer i know that this is a really important strike what they do with this strike is setting up what will happen in SAG. 1st to hear a studio or a person of the studio say that the writer are getting aleast $200.000 is really ridiculous analyse to the thousand that they are getting. I would really be pissed off to see something that i undergo written is being sold on the internet for $1.99 an or the 1st season of it being sold in target i do'nt get anything much for it. But you the producer/ studio is getting a great heaping of my cram. I DO HOPE THIS GOES ON UNTIL THE OSCARS TO SQUEEZE. THEY NEED WRITERS. UNLESS. RYAN SEACREST DOES IT. I DON'T THINK IF YOU ARE A entertain YOU ARE UNDER ANY UNION CONTRACT. NOW IF HE WERE TO DO THIS. HE WOULD REALLY SELL EVERYONE DOWN THE RIVER.
