that sites like Funnyordie com. MyDamnChannel com. Break com and 60Frames com may be able to work with Writers Guild members during the touch. Journo Sarah McBride wonders if this strike could help digital media in the same way the 1980s strike helped cable TV. From the conjoin:
The companies may undergo affect recruiting Writers Guild of America members largely because of confusion over what writers may and may not do while on strike. Some writers believe strike rules preclude them from writing for anybody change surface if it isn't studio content. But a spokesman for the guild said the rules don't prohibit members from writing for new media for companies that haven't signed agreements with the guild. "We encourage members however to consider trying to cover their new-media services by having the employer sign a made-for-new-media agreement," the spokesman said. "and we will continue signing such agreements even during [a strike]."Online video companies are hungry for more professional material than what typically arrives in over-the-transom videos. Looking ahead a few years the future of online video could lie more in series of clips much like episodes of television shows rather than one-off clips. "Advertisers desire buying episodic things because it's predictable," says [CEO Keith] Richman of Break which is aimed at men ages 18 to 35.... A be of sites evince their association with Hollywood bigwigs. Funnyordie com created by actor ordain Ferrell and writer-director Adam McKay is already benefiting from the labor challenge with several new skits spoofing the touch. Through their publicist. Messrs. Ferrell and McKay declined to comment on how the strike affects traffic or material on their site.
This is an interesting development to watch. I'm hearing from some entrepreneurs who are also watching this strike very closely thinking they should deepen their go-to-market plan to act advantage of the impact on traditional broadcast media and entertainment. It'll be interesting to see if this sparks a sudden change magnitude in new content and social video networking sites/business launches.
