On Friday afternoon, Moment magazine honored Craigslist founder and philanthropist Craig Newmark with its 2024 Inspirational Leadership Award for his unstinting support for independent journalism and democracy. The award was presented at a National Press Club luncheon.
Moment Editor-in-Chief and CEO Nadine Epstein thanked Newmark for championing the trustworthy, fact-based independent journalism necessary for a healthy democracyâ and that is at the heart of Momentâs mission. âCraig is kind and thoughtful as well as generous,â she said. âHe understands how hard the work of journalism is today, and why journalism is more important now than ever before.â
