Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav Booed and Heckled During Boston University Commencement Speech Amid Ongoing Writers Strike

Zaslav's speech was repeatedly interrupted by audience members chanting "Pay your writers!" in support of striking Hollywood screenwriters.
About 200 protesters picketed outside the graduation venue, while some students turned their backs on Zaslav during his address.
The WGA strike began May 2 after failed contract negotiations with major studios like Warner Bros. Discovery over issues like streaming compensation and AI.
Zaslav voiced support for writers after the speech, but his appearance still drew criticism from groups who said it undermined the purpose of the strike.
The chaotic scene highlighted growing tensions between younger generations and media companies over fair pay and treatment of creators.
