CRAIG NEWMARK, founder of the popular want-ad web site Craigslist.org, isn't known as an audio-visual content creator; but he still got to speak (via webcam) during the Podcast Hotel conference, Feb. 24-25 at the Triple Door. His topic: Why he believes bloggers and podcasters can help subvert the corporate news media, by empowering "citizen journalism." To his right, NPR Online worker Robert Spier explained why the NPR.org web site isn't streaming All Things Considered (it's in deference to the local affiliates).
