In an interview at Singularity University’s Global Summit in San Francisco, web pioneer Craig Newmark talked entrepreneurship and his work to make journalism more trustworthy.

Newmark founded Craigslist in 1995 and has since focused on technology for good. He’s a philanthropist and advocate for trustworthy journalism, voting rights, veterans and military families, and other civic and social justice causes. And, as he puts it, he’s an old school nerd.

Newmark said he’s never really felt like much of an entrepreneur, and he long ago turned the operational reins at Craigslist over to someone else. But he continues to work on causes he cares deeply about through the Newmark Foundation and as founding funder and executive committee member of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism’s News Integrity Initiative.

Watch the interview to learn more about why Newmark continues to work customer service at Craigslist, what he hopes his news integrity efforts can accomplish, and why he welcomes our machine overlords.
