Craigslist Plays ‘Small Role’ in Fall of Newspapers, Founder Says

Recode: Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist: “I’ve looked at the last 60 years of newspaper circulation and revenues. Down, down, down due to TV news, as people say. Around 2008, got hammered even worse by the big dot-coms. I think Craigslist played a small role in that, one so small that I don’t know if anyone has been able to measure it with all the effects that the big guys had.”
