WRITER’S STRIKE OF 2007-2008: THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION. Milken Institute. Kevin Klowden and Anusuya Chatterjee. Web posted June 8, 2008.

The entertainment industry is still recovering from the effects of the work stoppage and digesting the implications of the new labor agreement. Revenue sharing from digital media was at the heart of the dispute and production was shut down on numerous films and many of television’s most popular shows. The writers’ strike has also had significant and lingering effects on television viewers, causing a decline in revenues for the broadcast networks. The report reviews the overall effects of the writers’ strike on California’s economy and the underlying causes of the dispute, examining in particular how the growing market for new media has changed the dynamics of the entertainment industry.
