The striking writers - 13,000 of them from coast to coast - finally got specifics of their proposed new deal very early this morning, and the letter sent to them from WGA leadership contains this not entirely rosy overview: 
"Over these three difficult months, we shut down production of nearly all scripted content in TV and film and had a serious impact on the business of our employers in ways they did not expect and were hard pressed to deflect. Nevertheless, an ongoing struggle against seven, multinational media conglomerates, no matter how successful, is exhausting, taking an enormous personal toll on our members and countless others. As such, we believe that continuing to strike now will not bring sufficient gains to outweigh the potential risks and that the time has come to accept this contract and settle the strike."
Writers in New York are meeting today (and through tonight, probably late tonight) to get a sense of whether they should accept or reject this new deal, which DOES include remuneration for "new media" which is what they put up the fight for in the first place. But the language is complicated, and convoluted - and I'm not certain but I don't think it addresses DVD residuals either.
By the way, as my colleague, Diane, (below) notes, the LA Times is all over this, but for an especially good tic toc of the action throughout the day and night, also go to deadlinehollywood.com.
