The Sunday discussion between Business Insider and its parent company, Axel Springer, validated their position on the allegation that former MIT professor was guilty of plagiarism. This ignited a backlash that spread across social media, led by her spouse, billionaire Bill Ackman. Axel Springer released a statement on their support, stressing the absence of personal biases or religious motivations behind their reporting. They plan to review the process following Ackman’s criticism. The CEO of Business Insider, Barbara Peng, emphasized the accuracy of the stories and the documented facts in them. She claimed that the reporting and review process were sound, and that the stories will continue without compromise to their newsroom and will be known for its editorial independence.
Furthermore, there were no comments from Ackman, but earlier social media posts indicated strong opposition to Business Insider and Axel Springer over the reports about his wife. This scandal originated when Business Insider published allegations of plagiarism against Neri Oxman, the former MIT professor. Obviously, the scandal surrounding former-President Claudine Gay has ignited a deep-rooted controversy. Conclusively, despite complications in the investigative process, an apology from Oxman was made stating that while she did not use proper quotation marks, all the sources were duly credited.
