Bill Ackman has raised objections to a Business Insider article accusing his wife, Neri Oxman, of academic plagiarism, prompting parent company Axel Springer to review the editorial process behind the article. This marks a departure from Axel Springer's typically hands-off approach to editorial control since acquiring Business Insider. The situation has caused tension within BI's newsroom and with its union, as Axel Springer is a German media group looking to expand in the U.S. Ackman suggested the article may be retaliatory for his criticism of Harvard University and questioned BI's motives, leading to Axel Springer's top executives' concern over the company's principles.
