Striking Writers in Talks to Launch Web Start-Ups

The Los Angeles Times reports in a December 17 cover story by Joseph Mann that "At least seven groups, composed of members of the striking Writers Guild of America, are planning to form Internet-based businesses that, if successful, could create an alternative economic model to the one at the heart of the walkout, now in its seventh week."
