If the strike ends this week (or whenever),it will be in no small part due to Nikki. That’s the truth. Thank you, Nikki, for keeping the heat on… and for keeping us all sane.

nikki finke is awesome and far superior to any other news source re: strike and industry info.

however, nothing is totally unfiltered; even nikki is human, though deservedly she’s earned her superhero stripes lately.

it’s dangerous to hand your mind on a platter to anyone - even a truth seeker like nikki.

bottom line - always maintain a healthy critical mind and ultimately think for yourself when it comes to any news source.

No, thank you, Nikki. I know people on the negotiating committee, showrunners, agents, producers, and dozens of other writers like myself, and still find your site the most resourceful. You rock.

“It’s been brutal, but it’s also been exhilarating because I love news. I love it — a scoop is better than sex”

Really? Haha, that’s awesome!
Nikki, when I input text in the “name” and “email” boxes for comments, they come out as white and are darn near impossible to read on your gray/yellow backgrounds. Any way to fix that?

Good for you! I linked to your blog on November 14 in the comments to a posting by economist Mark Thoma on “Economist’s View,” an economics-and-policy blog that is well-read by policymakers and journalists. Main page here:

Copy and paste the URL.

Well worth reading, always.

The Nov. 14 post was about a recent article in The New Yorker which discussed the general economics of strikes, and got it a little wrong about what the writers’ guild has gained from strikes. The separate post is here:

I hope you are write, oops, I mean right. I am hoping the studios get it, that they are not the only ones who should reap rewards from the work of writers. Share Corporate America. It’s the right thing to do.

With a headline like the Times’, I was expecting a real hatchet job. What a pleasant surprise.
