Paradigm became the first major talent agency to sign a franchise agreement with the Writers Guild of America. The WGA has been in a months-long dispute with the Association of Talent Agents over a new code of conduct.
Paradigm Talent Agency on Monday became the first major agency to sign a franchise agreement with the Writers Guild of America, a significant step in the union’s push to get talent agencies to change long-standing industry practices.
