What affects your price

  • 01

    Type and reach of content

    Content published widely, or on sensitive subjects, carries more exposure than internal material.

  • 02

    Activities covered

    Producing, publishing, hosting and distributing are different activities and may be priced separately.

  • 03

    Rights claims included

    Defamation, privacy, copyright and trademark coverage can each be a separate grant.

  • 04

    Limits and retention

    Higher limits cost more, and accepting a higher retention can bring the premium down.

  • 05

    Complaint history

    Earlier allegations over content raise the price or narrow who will quote.

Common questions

Does media liability cover copyright complaints?

It may, if the policy includes that right and your activity. License terms and who is responsible for client-supplied material can change the answer.

How is this different from tech E&O or cyber?

Media liability is about claims over content. A failed deliverable is tech E&O, and a data incident is cyber. We check each concern has a place in your program.

Does it matter that I produce content for clients?

Yes. Client campaigns need to be named among the covered activities, so we ask for them specifically.

Do I need a new broker for media liability?

No. Keep the broker you have and we’ll work with them, with no commissions on premiums. Or let us help you find a different one.
