**Business Insider** is a leading global digital news organization specializing in business, technology, and innovation journalism. Founded in 2007 in New York City as *Silicon Alley Insider*, it was created by Kevin P. Ryan, Dwight Merriman, and Henry Blodget to deliver business news through a modern, digital-native approach that leveraged the internet’s unique capabilities[1][2][4]. The site quickly gained recognition for breaking major stories, such as the founding of Facebook and detailed coverage of the 2008 financial crisis, establishing itself as a pioneer in visual and engaging business journalism[1]. Originally focused on the tech industry, Business Insider expanded its coverage to broader business topics while maintaining a strong emphasis on technology and innovation. It evolved from a niche blog to a global news brand, with journalists stationed worldwide including New York, Singapore, and the UK[1][2]. The company also diversified its offerings, launching sites like Tech Insider and Markets Insider, before consolidating these under the Business Insider brand as part of its parent company, Insider Inc., which was rebranded from Business Insider in 2017 to reflect its broader content scope[2][3][5]. A significant milestone came in 2015 when Axel Springer SE acquired a majority stake, fueling international growth and leading to the expansion of content and services, including subscription-based premium content under BI Prime[2][5]. Business Insider’s journalism has influenced government policies, corporate leadership changes, and public discourse, coining cultural terms such as "quiet quitting" that entered mainstream awareness[1]. Despite some internal challenges post-acquisition, the organization has remained a top digital publisher with a focus on impactful, award-winning business reporting[1][2][5]. Today, Business Insider stands as a critical source for business professionals and technology enthusiasts, blending in-depth analysis, data-driven journalism, and multimedia storytelling to help millions navigate the evolving economic and tech landscapes[1][5].
