Wal-Mart.com has recently launched a new section to their website called Wal-Mart Classifieds and it could be exactly what local newspapers need to compete with Craigslist.com. Unlike Craiglist, searches on Wal-Mart Classified will reveal ads and listings from a wide array of sources, including local newspapers that make themselves available to Wal-Mart’s network. Local newspapers are hoping that this will spark a renaissance in buying classified ads in newspapers, as they will now be readily accessible on a large, internet database. Slate (June 3, 2008)
