WGA + AMPTP. Tentative deal.

"The Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers," reports Stuart Levine for Variety, which has posted a PDF, "Summary of the Tentative 2008 WGA Theatrical and Television Basic Agreement," regarding "resumption of work through May 1, 2011." According to Levine, news was broken at 3 this morning via an email to WGA East members "alerting writers that a deal has been made that 'protects a future in which the Internet becomes the primary means of both content creation and delivery.'"
