Craig Newmark is the founder of Craigslist. Established in 1995, it\u2019s one of the world\u2019s most popular websites, active in 700 cities across 70 countries. Stepping away from day-to-day management of the site in 2000 to become a full-time philanthropist, Craig is a passionate campaigner for a free and fair press - supporting journalism, and combatting disinformation. In this in-depth interview, he recalls the journey of Craigslist from an obscure email distribution platform built in his bedroom into the $3bn global behemoth it is today; likens his philanthropic mission to stand up for a free media to that of a \u201ccombat engineer, fighting to preserve western democracy\u201d from its \u201cbiggest enemy\u201d which he calls \u201cinformation warfare;\u201d and shares his deeply-held belief that the media is \u201cthe immune system of democracy\u201d - arguing that much of it is \u201cfailing the American people at the time they most need it.\u201d
