# Does Media Liability Cover Websites?

A website may be covered as a publishing channel, but data breaches, software errors, and user posts may fall under other terms.

A media policy may cover claims tied to website publishing if the site and services fit its definitions. A data breach, software error, or user post may trigger different exclusions or another policy.

Describe your sites, interactive features, data collection, and third-party content. Compare media terms with cyber and technology E&O, including named URLs, defense costs, and user-content endorsements.
