Forbes: "Why the Writers Must Win"

Everyone should read the article by Lacey Rose over at Forbes. It mentions United Hollywood and quotes our own Kate Purdy--and it shows that we're getting the message across about what this strike is really about:

When 12,000 Hollywood writers traded pencils for picket signs this week, they took a huge risk. Even riskier: not striking. Losing to the studios now could doom their union as television gives way to the Internet.

�We know that the future of the industry is the Web, and that in the near future television sets and computer monitors will merge into the same screen,� says Kate Purdy, a writer for CBS' Cold Case and a blogger behind a new strike-related writers' blog, United Hollywood.
