Axel Springer to Review Business Insider's Reporting Processes Amid Plagiarism Allegations Against Neri Oxman

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman threatens to launch more plagiarism investigations, including against MIT president Sally Kornbluth and Business Insider itself.

Business Insider published two articles last week alleging that Neri Oxman, a prominent former MIT professor and wife of billionaire investor Bill Ackman, had plagiarized repeatedly in her academic work.
Ackman, who had been pressuring Harvard University to oust its president over plagiarism allegations, accused Business Insider of unethical journalism and threatened to review its writers' work.
Despite Ackman's complaints, the German media giant that owns Business Insider, Axel Springer, acknowledged that the stories were not factually wrong but announced it would review the processes that led to the articles' publication.
The plagiarism allegations against Oxman and the former Harvard president, Claudine Gay, have sparked a broader conversation about the need for new rules on plagiarism.
