The Hollywood writers’ strike continues as major issues persist

Since May 2, Hollywood’s writers have been on strike. However, what is preventing them from reaching a deal with the studios? One reason is the significant changes in technology and the way people consume entertainment since the last writers’ strike in 2007. Even if the writers’ issues are resolved, the Screen Actors Guild also needs to negotiate a separate deal with the studios, as they have been on strike for about 40 days.
