Transcontinental Media said to be prepared to modify controversial freelance contract

Although the other side hasn't been heard from, Masthead reports that Transcontinental Media is prepared to modify or renegotiate its contentious "master" agreement for freelancers. Derek Finkle of the Canadian Writers' Group (CWG), who attended a meeting with senior executives at Transcontinental, said:

“We’ve had a closed door discussion in good faith with them, but I don’t mind saying on the record that they have offered to make changes to their new master agreement.”
