The ongoing negotiations between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the AMPTP have brought the importance of writers' rooms to the forefront. The WGA is pushing for a minimum staffing requirement, while the AMPTP suggests letting showrunners decide based on budget. TV writers have taken to social media to explain how writers' rooms have positively impacted iconic shows like Breaking Bad, by altering storylines and adding creative elements. It is argued that writers' rooms are not only practical but also offer creative benefits and allow writers to collaborate and develop their craft.
