Breaking News: The Black List just went dark for over 1,000 studio and “struck companies” staffers in support of the Writers Guild of America’s month-long strike. The platform’s founder, Franklin Leonard, has suspended access to its services for approximately 1,300 members and slashed material fees for writers until a new deal is reached with the studios and streamers. “Writers remain the most undervalued constituents of the film and television ecosystem,” Leonard stated. “When writers win, the entire industry wins.” This move not only supports the writers’ cause but also allows them to stay within the guidelines of the strike. The Black List has been a treasure trove of new work and new voices in Hollywood since its inception in 2005. As the DGA members vote on their agreement with the studios and SAG-AFTRA begins their negotiations, it could be a long summer for the entertainment industry.
