Craigslist chief executive Jim Buckmaster says that U.S. newspapers are purposely writing negative stores about the online classified site.
At the MediaGuardian.co.uk Changing Media Summit in London Buckmaster said," In the US the attitude of newspapers toward us has evolved. There were positive stories in the early days that has now reversed. Journalist friends of ours say that they have been told not to write positive stories about us."
Buckmaster said there was "enthusiasm" shown for writing negative stories about Craigslist. "I don't mean it [the accusation] as a complaint, it is a factual answer we are seen as a primary competitor by newspapers," he added.
Buckmaster said in the future people will view Craigslist as "laughably crude." "It is still the early stages," he said, referring to the development of Craigslist. "If you look back 10 years from now the technology will look laughably crude."
