Hollywood Studios Preparing New Offer for Striking Writers

Major media companies have stepped up their efforts to resolve a three-month-long strike by writers and are preparing a new offer, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The most-senior officials from eight studios are holding meetings more regularly, alongside smaller committees of executives who are working to settle the dispute with the writers and a separate strike by actors, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal deliberations.
