# Does Media Liability Cover Social Media?

Media policies may cover social-post or advertising claims, depending on insured accounts, eligible content, and exclusions.

Personal accounts, paid content, or user posts may be treated differently.

List business and personal accounts used for work, sponsored posts, employee content, and third-party material. Compare media and general-liability wording for IP, defamation, intentional acts, and prior publication.
