Max Tani Updated Jan 8, 2024, 1:03am GMT+1 MEDIA BUSINESS Business Insider's owners clash over plagiarism story SHARE Ackman led the effort to oust now-former Harvard president Claudine Gay over plagiarism accusations, amid campus controversies around Israel and Gaza. Last week, Business Insider reported that his wife, Neri Oxman, plagiarized portions of her dissertation. Semafor has learned that the report has caused serious divisions within the top echelons of Axel Springer, BI's German owner. Some company leaders have debated whether Ackman's wife was fair game for reporting, and have been concerned that the report could be construed as antisemitic and anti-Zionist. (Oxman was born and raised in Israel.) The story has also seemingly caused a rift between BI's editorial team and its parent company. In an email to staff on Sunday, editor-in-chief Nich Carlson said that Axel asked BI to review its reporting process. "As Global Editor-in-Chief it is my responsibility to publish fair, independent, and newsworthy journalism," he said. "I made the call to publish both these stories. I stand by our story and the work that went into it. I know that our process was sound. I know our newsroom's motivations are truth and accountability."
