QBE NA introduces media liability endorsement

QBE North America   announced a new media liability endorsement designed to provide coverage for media organizations facing legal actions brought under consumer protection laws. As legal challenges against media companies continue to evolve, this endorsement provides affirmative coverage should these laws be leveraged to challenge the protection of free speech under the First Amendment.

The endorsement is available to media companies seeking additional protection against legal actions tied to consumer protection statutes, laws designed to safeguard consumers from false, deceptive or unfair business practices. These laws are now being applied to challenge media organizations from engaging in free speech. The expanded coverage helps media companies mitigate financial risks such as legal defense costs and potential losses.

“Our clients are in the business of telling stories, and our role is to provide them with the confidence to create and distribute their content across various mediums. This endorsement reinforces our commitment to providing creative insurance solutions that support media organizations as they navigate an increasingly complex legal environment.” – Chris Cooper, SVP, Media Liability, QBE North America.
