'In order to create great storytelling, we need great writers,' the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO told CNBC's 'Squawk Box' Friday morning.
“We’re not glad,” he said on CNBC Friday morning, when pressed by co-host Joe Kernen about the potential cost savings.
“Look, we’re a pure storytelling company, and we’ve been fighting to get the greatest creatives to come work at Warner Bros.,” Zaslav said. “In order to create great storytelling, we need great writers, and we need the whole industry to work together and everybody deserves to be paid fairly. So our number one focus is let’s try and get this resolved. Let’s do it in a way that that the writers feel that they’re valued — which they are — and they’re compensated fairly.
