established by 1954 after the merging of groups from other writers labor unions. The <a href="/wiki/Authors_Guild" title="Authors Guild">Authors Guild</a> (AG) was originally founded in 1912 as the Authors' League of America (ALA) to represent book and magazine authors, as well as dramatists. In 1921, the <a href="/wiki/Dramatists_Guild_of_America" title="Dramatists Guild of America">Dramatists Guild of America</a> split off as a separate group to represent writers of stage and, later, radio drama. That same year, the <a href="/wiki/Screen_Writers_Guild" title="Screen Writers Guild">Screen Writers Guild</a> (SWG) was formed to represent film screenwriters, but operated primarily more as a social organization until 1933 when the group affiliated with the AG and took on a more active role in labor negotiations. With the emergence of the television industry by 1948, the SWG and a Television Writers Group within the AG began to represent TV writers. In recognition of the growing complexity of representing members in many different fields of entertainment writing, the unions reorganized in 1954. Both the Authors Guild and the Dramatists Guild would continue to represent writers in print media, the SWG would fold, and those working in motion pictures, TV, and radio would be represented by two new guilds, headquartered on both coasts: the WGAE and the WGAW.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Common_activities">Common activities</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Writers_Guild_of_America&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Common activities" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <p>Although the WGAE and the WGAW run independently of each other, they jointly perform some regular activities, including the following: </p> <ul><li>The <a href="/wiki/Writers_Guild_of_America_Awards" title="Writers Guild of America Awards">Writers Guild of America Awards</a> are presented annually by both guilds in recognition of excellence in film, television, and radio writing, including both fiction and non-fiction.
