Citizen Craig doesn't trust 'MSM'
Craigslist's founder wants to change the news paradigm with high-tech
grassroots journalism

Interviewed by John McManus
Posted Oct. 25, 2005

Craig Newmark is an entrepreneur whose no-frills Web listing service,
Craigslist.org, has since 1995 come to dominate the classified advertising
market in the Bay Area and dozens of other cities around the world. By
offering almost all services for free, he may well be responsible for
depriving newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose
Mercury News of millions of dollars a year in advertising.

Even as traditional sources of news -- or "mainstream media" -- struggle to
compete with the Internet, however, Mr. Newmark isn't putting much faith in
their ability to safeguard the republic. After adding robust discussion
forums and his own personal Web log, Mr. Newmark (whose unique official
title is "customer service representative and founder") is now using his
prominence to advocate for the creation of alternative news media
technologies that allow ordinary news consumers to become news producers.

He spoke with John McManus at his favorite cafe in San Francisco's Cole
Valley neighborhood, where he lives.
