# What Does Media Liability Insurance Cover?

Media liability may cover defined claims such as defamation, privacy, and infringement tied to covered content work.

The actual policy may exclude misleading advertising, client content, network security, patents, trade secrets, or some software claims.

Check which allegations, channels, insureds, and services are included. Confirm whether defense costs reduce limits, what retention applies, and whether endorsements change exclusions.
