WGAw campaigns for reality writers

The Writers Guild of America, west (WGAw) is going public with an industry-wide campaign to organize reality TV writers, producers, and editors. "This is the most aggressive organizing effort the Guild has undertaken since its founding," said Daniel Petrie Jr., president. "The secret about reality TV isn't that it's scripted, which it is; the secret is that reality TV is a 21st-century telecommunications industry sweatshop."
