Why is the Manhattan DA Looking at Newsweek’s Ties to a Christian University?
Newsweek’s Celeste Katz, Josh Keefe, and Josh Saul report that the Manhattan district attorney is investigating financial ties between Newsweek’s parent company and Olivet University, a California-based Bible college. There are five current or former top Newsweek executives who have held roles at Olivet. Katz, Keefe, and Saul write, “In recent years, the media company has paid Olivet millions of dollars for licensing and research and development agreements, tax records show.” For reporting on this story, Newsweek executives fired Katz and targeted Keefe and Saul for termination.
