Media organizations are particularly vulnerable to accusations of libel and slander, intellectual property infringement, and violations of programming regulations. There can be significant costs involved with retaining legal counsel and defending one’s organization (or oneself) against these claims, often well into the tens of millions.
To protect your interests, it is a good idea to consider investing in a broad media liability insurance policy, tailored specifically to the risks and needs of your organization and your contributors such as advertising agencies, producers, authors and publishers, broadcasters, bloggers, and social media influencers.
