Keep in mind that I was explaining to a newspaper publisher why Craigslist would not work with them to help them make more money. Craig's focus is on building tools that help fact-check stories and help news organizations remain trustworthy, not efforts to help increase monetization.
That's fine, but it's a bit like polishing the brass on the Titanic.
From NiemanLab:
"Craig Newmark’s most recently announced project, CraigConnects, is, as best as I can tell, a way of funneling Newmark’s attention capital towards (mostly) nonprofit organizations."
Attention capital is nice and welcome, but hardly the thing that will save good journalism.
