'''''Insider''''', previously named '''''Business Insider''''' ('''''BI'''''), is a [[New York City]]-based [[multinational corporation|multinational]] financial and business news website founded in 2007. Since 2015, a majority stake in ''Business Insider''{{'}}s parent company [[Insider Inc.]] has been owned by the German publishing house [[Axel Springer SE|Axel Springer]]. It operates several international editions, including one in the United Kingdom.

''Insider'' publishes original reporting and aggregates material from other outlets. {{As of|2011||post=,}} it maintained a liberal policy on the use of [[Source (journalism)|anonymous sources]]. It has also published [[native advertising]] and granted sponsors editorial control of its content. The outlet has been nominated for several awards, but has also been criticized for using factually incorrect [[clickbait]] headlines to attract viewership.

In 2015, [[Axel Springer SE]] acquired 88 percent of the stake in [[Insider Inc.]] for $343 million (€306 million),<ref name=":4" /> implying a total valuation of $442 million.<ref name=":5" /> In February 2021, the brand was renamed simply ''Insider''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Blodget |first1=Henry |title='Business Insider' has simplified its name.
