is it correct to write "insights about" or is it "insights into"?

'Into' is the most common preposition paired with insight(s), but 'about' can certainly be correct, in addition to 'as to' and 'regarding'. Context can also change how natural-sounding a particular preposition fits in, but here the difference is fairly negligible.
