# Compare media liability insurance quotes with Spot

Media quotes turn on dates, rights and who controls a dispute, so Spot compares those terms across proposals for the content you publish.

- Covered media activities matched to what you publish
- Retroactive dates and reporting rules compared
- Keep your broker or switch, with no commissions on premiums

## How it works

- **Share your content and the proposals.** Send what you publish and where, revenue by activity, your client agreements and any complaints, along with each quote.
- **We match activities to wording.** Spot checks whether each quote names the creation, publication, broadcast or distribution you actually do.
- **Ask about older content.** Your Spot team checks each quote’s trigger and retroactive date against content you published long ago, and how reporting works.
- **Choose and bind.** Pick the quote that matches your licenses and client terms. Your Spot team helps you bind it and keeps the policy with your agreements.

## What to compare

- **Covered media activities.** The creation, publication, broadcast or distribution activities the policy identifies, against the ones you do.
- **Trigger and retroactive date.** What starts coverage and how content you published earlier is treated.
- **Reporting.** How to report claims and potential claims, and by when.
- **Defense inside the limit.** Whether defense spending uses the limit, which leaves less for a settlement.
- **Retention and choice of counsel.** What you pay first and who chooses the lawyer.
- **Settlement consent.** What happens if you reject a settlement the insurer proposes.
- **Rights and licenses.** How the quote treats stock images with usage or territory limits, client-supplied materials and contractual promises.
- **Known issues and restrictions.** How known disputes, deliberately false content and patent allegations are handled.

## Differences to watch for

- **Three dates for older content.** For an old blog post, keep the publication date, the date the complaint arrived and the date you reported it together.
- **Licensed material you didn’t create.** A stock image or a client’s logo can carry restrictions that affect a claim.
- **Advertising injury elsewhere.** General liability’s personal and advertising injury provisions cover specified offenses only. Don’t treat them as media coverage.
- **Defense eating the limit.** When defense expenses sit inside the limit, less may remain to settle.

## Common questions

### How does media liability differ from professional liability?

Media addresses claims about content you create or distribute. Professional liability addresses claims about your services or advice.

### What will insurers ask about?

Your content and audience, distribution territories, how you get rights and releases, and how you handle complaints and removal requests.

### Do I have to change brokers?

No. Spot doesn’t replace brokers or earn commissions on premiums, so your broker relationship is yours to keep or change.

### Does cyber cover any of this?

Partly at most. Compare what each policy addresses so each concern has a clear place.
