HOLLYWOOD WRITERS CITE MOVEMENT IN TALKS
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Both sides in the Hollywood writers strike expressed optimism that progress was being made in contract negotiations aimed at ending a five-week walkout.
The Writers Guild of America said Wednesday that talks with studios over the past two days were "substantive," but cautioned it had yet to get a response on proposals including residuals for movies and TV shows streamed online. Negotiations were to resume Thursday.
