It occurs to me that Craiglist has killed the newspaper.  Newspapers used to get a huge sum of income from their classified advertising.  Without question, the single biggest killer of classified ads has been Craislist, which spread like a virus from San Francisco, quickly across the world. 

Yeah, I love it and use it too but this realization makes me very sad.  Is it worth the ability to list your couch online for free to have less of an active, independent press assuring our democracy?
