Traditional journalism has had lots of pinpricks and the article doesn't really refute that Craigslist was almost certainly one of those--and maybe a fairly big one for big city papers in the US. I expect it's also a radical oversimplification to suggest that Craigslist alone decimated newspapers.

It’s not an oversimplification to suggest that Craigslist destroyed rental agencies, and that happened overnight.

It shifted the market and required rental agencies to provide more value but it's an exaggeration to say it destroyed them from what I understand.
