The Writers Guilds East and West held membership meetings Saturday to brief members on the tentative deal. You can read the deal summary here. Here’s my analysis (in the same order as in the deal summary) and recommendations. Note that actual contract language has not been released and may not be prior to ratification, so analysis is shadowed by some uncertainties, some of which are noted below. Also, note that my bias is generally pro-writer: e.g., “excellent” means excellent for the writers, and not so much for the studios.
