Byline: New York (AP)
Axel Springer, a German media company that owns Business Insider, firmly stands behind its publication and its newsroom. Following complaints from Ackman, who is a Harvard graduate and CEO of hedge-fund firm Pershing Square, the company had initiated an investigation into the allegations against Oxman. Ackman had publicly campaigned against Gay, which led to her resignation after facing criticism for her responses at a congressional hearing on antisemitism and allegations of inadequate crediting in her academic work.
Ackman's response to these allegations and the pressure he exerted as a well-connected individual have raised questions about the independence of the media outlet. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Ackman voiced his disbelief at the notion that Business Insider and Axel Springer would consider such reporting fair, accurate, and well-documented.
Ackman expressed his indignation at the manner in which someone's family was attacked and criticized the short timeframe given to him by Business Insider reporters to respond to the allegations. He also suggested that an editor within the organization held anti-Zionist views. It is worth noting that Oxman was born in Israel.
Business Insider's commitment to journalism and its integrity remains unshaken, despite the criticisms raised by Ackman. Axel Springer, as the parent company, fully supports the publication and its reports concerning the plagiarism allegations involving Neri Oxman.
