Craig Newmark Quotes

The problem is that with blogging, the model is publish first, maybe fact-check later. In newspapers, the model is you fact check first and then publish. But those models are merging Picture Quote #1

I’d like to build a way for people doing good work to connect, to learn from each other, protect each other, and then I want to get out of their way Picture Quote #1

Death is my exit strategy. I’ll be doing significant customer service only as long as I live Picture Quote #1

My understanding from talking to a lot of people in the business has been that it used to be that a newspaper was considered a community service. Now they’re being run as profit centers, and they’re trying to get pretty high profit margins. As a result, investigative reporting has been seen as a problem Picture Quote #1

A lot of publishers have close relationships with people in power. So the press, which used to speak truth to power, doesn’t. The big result of that has been the erosion of trust Picture Quote #1

I do think the biggest problem newspapers have is loss of trust, and I feel that’s a result of failure to speak truth to power Picture Quote #1

I had one simple idea about telling friends about arts and technology events. People in the community suggested everything else to us, and that’s our theme. We’re really run by the people who use the site. We just run the infrastructure, and help out with problems Picture Quote #1

I rely on Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire for straight, fair political news, he gets right to the point. It’s an eagerly anticipated part of my news reading Picture Quote #1

I’m not in the news business and won’t tell people how to do their job. I’d like to restore trust in the news business, though, and feel that restoring fact-checking will really help. News business realities mean that such fact-checking has to be practical, it has to be fast and cheap Picture Quote #1

Okay, I’m not in the news business, and I’m not going to tell anyone how to do their job. However, it’d be good to have news reporting that I could trust again, and there’s evidence that fact-checking is an idea whose time has come Picture Quote #1

I am committed to doing customer service for Craigslist for the rest of my life. The exit strategy is death Picture Quote #1

We don’t have much in the way of a business strategy. Like no business plan. Which I say to torment all my friends who are VCs or MBAs. That’s always entertaining. The deal is, it’s a mixture of luck and persistence Picture Quote #1

We don’t think of ourselves as do-gooders or altruists. It’s just that somehow we’re trying our best to be run with some sense of moral compass even in a business environment that is growing Picture Quote #1

The stuff that works best is driven by passion rather than dollars Picture Quote #1

I want you to know, at this very moment, I am simulating normal human behavior Picture Quote #1

Crooks are early adopters Picture Quote #1

Follow through with basic values, and remember to provide good customer service Picture Quote #1

There’s no genius behind it. It’s persistence and listening to people Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a slow gradual approach does more good than a large gesture Picture Quote #1

I look at what the phone company does and do the opposite Picture Quote #1

Death is my exit strategy. I’ll be doing significant customer service only as long as I live Picture Quote #1

We want to offer job training and mentoring and build the site with more robust, reliable and flexible technology Picture Quote #1

I want to help accelerate the evolution of the press because right now, newsrooms are cutting investigative journalists, and we need investigative journalists Picture Quote #1

What works on the net works for people in general. The net has very little to do with technology, what matters is how people use the technology Picture Quote #1

Treat people like you want to be treated; live and let live; and also give the other person a break now and then Picture Quote #1

I admit that when I think of the money one could make from all this, I get a little twinge. But I’m pretty happy with nerd values: Get yourself a comfortable living, then do a little something to change the world Picture Quote #1

In business, there are times when you disagree, and sometimes it turns out that you’re just plain wrong. Humor takes away tension and helps you realize you’re wrong Picture Quote #1

I need to make an okay living. The people who work for us need to. But after you make a comfortable living, how much more do you need? It’s like I make a joke about nerd values, because I’m very much in the rich nerd tradition. And you know, we say, like, hey, people pay us for this stuff, like programming. You know, what else do we need? Picture Quote #1

People everywhere have the same needs and values. They need a place to live and a job. Beyond that, they may need to sell stuff or get a mate Picture Quote #1
