Re/code: German publishing giant Axel Springer is closing in on a deal to buy Business Insider, in a deal that would value the web publisher at around $560 million. A transaction could close within weeks. In January, Axel Springer bought a minority stake in Business Insider, via a $25 million funding round that valued the company, founded by former Wall Street analyst Henry Blodget, at around $200 million. This new deal is said to peg Business Insider’s value at around 500 million euros.
