# Who Needs Media Liability Insurance?

Businesses that publish or promote content should assess media liability; eligibility depends on their activities, insureds, and contracts.

Your industry label does not establish eligibility or show that every service is covered.

Map who creates, approves, and distributes content and what contracts assign responsibility. Check named insureds, affiliates, freelancers, client content, limits, and exclusions against that work.
