Interview with Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist from after his panel organized by iWantMedia today in Manhattan.
He told me that while his company has had "an effect on newspapers," the notion that it has killed newspapers is "urban legend."
After I spoke with Newmark, I asked New York Times media columnist David Carr if Craig killed newspapers. He said the list shot their "back-end off" but didn't blame Newmark.
Congratulations to Patrick Phillips, founder of iWantMedia for putting together such a superb program and doing such an ace job at moderating.
