The Takeaway: Writers Strike, Day 92
Silicon Alley Insider: Former Disney chief Michael Eisner, who never thought the writers strike was a good idea to begin with, has pronounced it over.
Deadline Hollywood Daily: And what does Nikki Finke have to say about that? "Do not, repeat, do not, believe anyone who claims that the writers strike is over yet."
New York Times: But if a deal is reached over the weekend, as is looking pretty likely, you can thank writer Laeta Kalogridis, who brought together leaders from both sides and helped broker a compromise under which writers will receive 2 percent of revenues from TV shows streamed on the web.
Vanity Fair: In the view of Michael Wolff, the strike is about guaranteeing a steady stream of future income for writers who have been rendered obsolete by reality TV, video games and DIY entertainment.
