Craigslist Comes To Journalism

Craig Newmark, founder of the free
classifieds site Craigslist, is to launch a major online journalism project within
three months that will copy his "wisdom of the masses" approach to
advertising and apply it to journalism, the Guardian reports. He told the paper:

"Things do need to
change. The big issue in the US is that newspapers
are afraid to talk truth to power. The White House press corps don’t
speak the truth to power – they are frightened to lose access they
don’t have anyway."
