Writers Continue Picketing Ahead Of Planned Talks

BURBANK, CA - FEBRUARY 08: A picket sign addresses the question of whether the strike may end soon while Writers Guild of America members and supporters picket in front of NBC studios as hope grows that a draft copy of a proposed deal with Hollywood studios being completed today could lead to an end to the three-month old Hollywood writers strike within days, on February 8, 2008 in Burbank, California. The writers have been on strike since November 5 over the issue of compensation for content offered over the Internet. Television and film production has ground to a near halt and major Hollywood awards shows have taken big hits. Reports of a possible end to the crippling strike have buoyed hopes that the Oscars award show will go on as planned on February 24. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
