Axel Springer Stands By Business Insider Reporting on Bill Ackman’s Wife

Business Insider owner Axel Springer said it stands by the publication after reviewing the reporting process behind stories that alleged plagiarism by Neri Oxman, the designer and former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who is married to hedge-fund billionaire Bill Ackman.

The German media company said last week it would review the process and motivations behind the recent BI articles. The review came amid complaints from Ackman, in a series of posts on X, about the publication’s reporting tactics.
