Warner Bros. CEO faces backlash at Boston University commencement speech.
Boston University graduates booed and chanted "pay your writers" during the commencement speech of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who was being given an honorary degree. The school received backlash for choosing Zaslav as the speaker a day after the Writers Guild of America went on strike. The strike is the union's first in 15 years, with writers advocating for better pay, improved residuals from streaming, and guidelines about how artificial intelligence could affect writer's rooms.
