Definition
A specialized form of professional liability insurance designed specifically for media producers, publishers, journalists, and content creators. Media insurance — also called media liability insurance or errors and omissions (E&O) insurance for media — covers legal costs and damages arising from claims of defamation, libel, slander, copyright infringement, invasion of privacy, and misappropriation of likeness that may result from published content. For creators producing editorial content, commentary, investigative journalism, or content featuring third parties, media insurance provides critical financial protection against the growing volume of content-related legal actions.
