# What Is Media Liability Insurance?

Media liability covers specified claims from creating or distributing content; the policy defines covered activities, people, and legal costs.

A sample policy may include copyright, trademark, privacy, defamation, and negligence in specified media work, but it is not a standard market form.

Check covered services, insured entities, exclusions, claims-made dates, reporting rules, defense-cost treatment, and limits against your actual publishing work.
