Is Media Liability Insurance right for you?

  • Publishers and newsletters

    An article that names a real person can draw a defamation or privacy complaint long after it goes live.

  • Creative and advertising agencies

    You produce campaigns with client-supplied logos, testimonials and licensed images, and a rights claim can land on you.

  • Video and podcast producers

    Footage, music and interviews all come with releases and licenses that a policy has to account for.

  • Brands publishing their own content

    Customer stories, blog posts and social campaigns carry the same privacy and infringement questions as a publisher’s.

When to get Media Liability Insurance

  • 01

    A client contract requires media liability

    An agency or production agreement can name the coverage and ask what you warrant about content. Check both against your policy before you start the job.

  • 02

    You’re moving into a new format

    Starting a podcast, a video series or hosting other people’s material changes your activities. Make sure the quote names them.

  • 03

    You now publish in new countries

    Add the new distribution territories to your submission so the proposal reflects where your content is actually seen.

  • 04

    You received a complaint or takedown request

    Check the reporting terms right away. A potential claim may need to be reported, and known disputes can affect the next policy.

  • 05

    Your media policy is due for renewal

    Revenue by activity and your client mix have shifted since last year. Update the inventory and compare the market again.

Media Liability Insurance questions

Also known as media E&O insurance, media errors and omissions insurance, media insurance, multimedia liability insurance, publishers liability insurance, defamation insurance and libel insurance.

Does media liability cover every intellectual property dispute?

No. The policy lists the rights and allegations it addresses, and copyright, trademark and patent disputes aren’t interchangeable. Spot shows which ones each quote includes.

Does my general liability already cover this?

General liability has personal and advertising injury provisions, but they may not address the same allegations or activities as a media policy. Spot compares the two so you can see where they overlap and where they don’t.

Is content my client supplied covered?

Proposals treat it differently. Spot reviews how each one handles client-supplied material alongside your licenses and contract promises, rather than assuming it’s treated like your own work.

Can I choose my own lawyer?

Check the defense provisions first. They decide who selects counsel, whether defense spending uses the limit and what happens if you disagree with a settlement. Spot sets these out for each proposal.

Our broker isn’t a media specialist. Is that a problem?

Not if they can reach media markets. Spot prepares your content inventory, works with your broker to take it out and takes no commissions on premiums. If they can’t, we can help you move to a broker who places more media business.
