Beazley Media Liability Insurance
Beazley MediaTech for Small Businesses
Beazley sells media liability coverage bundled inside MediaTech, a single small-business form that also includes technology E&O, professional E&O and cyber coverage. It is not sold as a standalone media liability policy for this segment. 1Company-reported. US small-business MediaTech product page; does not address any larger-account media liability program Beazley may write separately.
Issuing Insurer
Beazley's posted Digital MediaTech Application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. as the insurer on its cover page. The actual issuing entity for a given policy is confirmed on the quote and declarations, not the blank application. 2Company-reported. Application form F00859, 042022 edition; not a regulator record and not evidence of the entity for every state or route.
Coverage Features
The sample MediaTech form's Media Wrongful Act trigger lists defamation, invasion of privacy, false arrest, trespass, plagiarism and copyright infringement, trademark and trade-dress infringement (including cybersquatting), misappropriation of a trade secret, and negligent content, arising from the insured's Media Activities, Professional Services or Tech Services. 3Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Media Wrongful Act definition; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control.
Unfair competition claims under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act are covered only when alleged together with, and arising out of, one of the form's listed trademark, trade-dress, domain-name or copyright allegations, not as a freestanding unfair-competition claim. 3Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Media Wrongful Act definition, item 11.
The sample form excludes claims for licensing-fee or royalty obligations and claims brought by intellectual-property licensing bodies, as well as costs to reprint, repost, recall or remove Media Material, though it does cover resulting loss of use of that material. 3Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Licensing Bodies & Joint Ventures and Recall exclusions.
Limits and Retentions
Unless the declarations list a separate amount, the media liability insuring agreement in the sample form shares the same Policy Aggregate Limit of Liability with the policy's technology, professional and cyber coverages rather than carrying its own dedicated limit. 3Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Limit of Liability and Coverage section; actual sublimits depend on what is purchased and shown on the declarations.
How to Apply
Beazley says small and midsize MediaTech business, including its media liability component, is placed through third-party placement platforms or by email, with automated processing rather than a direct-to-consumer purchase flow. 1Company-reported. MediaTech product page SME placement paragraph; describes the stated distribution channel only.
Claims Support
Not found in reviewed sources. Beazley says its cyber and tech claims team, including experienced litigators, handles the E&O and related claims arising under MediaTech, without breaking out a media-specific claims volume or outcome statistic. 1MediaTech product page claims paragraph, read for media-specific detail on 2026-09-23; no media-liability-specific figures were found on this page.
