NEWSPAPERS | TV | ONLINE | NEWS NOTES | FBDC'S PICK | JOBS NEWSPAPERS The NYT Co., which has threatened to shutter The Boston Globe, is seeking deep concessions from the newspaper's union mailers that would account for more than 40 percent of their wages and benefits, the union president said. After running a front-page advertisement for an NBC show that resembled a news story on Thursday, the LATimes Calendar entertainment section on Sunday was accompanied by a four-page ad for the movie The Soloist that was laid out like a news section. Newspapers produced and sold by homeless people in dozens of American cities are flourishing even as the deepening recession endangers conventional newspapers. TV The Daily Beast brings us the "7 Best Moments from Sunday Talk." Chris Matthews paid tribute to Vic Vissari, a longtime editor for NBC News in the Washington bureau, on Sunday's Chris Matthews Show. Vissari died of cancer earlier this month. Washington Whispers profiles CSPAN's Brian Lamb here. Fox's Glenn Beck is taking a comedy show on the road for six live performances. Beck calls his act a "poor man's Seinfeld" and intends to mix topical humor with his modern-day reimagining of Thomas Paine's 1776 pamphlet Common Sense." A look at MSNBC's "Morning Joe" here. ONLINE What type of web commenter are you? Or are you the worst kind- the anonymous criticizer?
