KEY INSURANCES

Insurances for Media Organisations

Local and independent news organisations have unique risks and should carry insurance policies that are tailored to the needs of this industry.

As a national leader for media insurance and the endorsed insurance partner for the Local & Independent News Association (LINA), KBI offers tailored insurance policies for the media industry.

association liability

Multimedia Insurance

Multimedia insurance is similar to a traditional Professional Indemnity policy, but includes coverage enhancements specific for the media industry. KBI and Chubb Insurance have created a robust policy for local and independent news organisations with several unique benefits:

 

  • Comprehensive cover for defamation, copyright infringement, invasion of privacy, harassment, and negligence (to name a few) resulting from your media activities.
  • Cover for all your content, mediums, and platforms, including all websites, newsletters, blogs, and social media platforms.
  • Cover for posts made on your social media platforms by others.
  • Tailored for scenarios involving confidential sources (claims not impacted by refusal to reveal identity of a confidential source or to produce reporter’s notes).
  • Unlimited retroactive cover to ensure you are covered for historic content.
  • Competitive premiums for members of LINA.
  • Backed by Chubb, the worlds largest publicly traded property & casualty insurer.
public liability

Public Liability

Public Liability is cover for property damage and/or personal injury to third parties caused by your negligent acts, including the associated defence costs.

 

The risks covered by this policy usually come into play at meetings, events, when you visit third party locations, and when you have visitors at your own premises.

cyber

Cyber Insurance

This is an important policy for all businesses and especially media organisations, but is often overlooked. Cyber Insurance offers comprehensive protection from a cyber-attack, including Emergency Incident Response, Business Interruption, and Privacy Liability.

 

It is common to think that your business doesn’t have any cyber risks, but we recommend that all digital media organisations ask themselves the following when considering their cyber risks:

 

  • Can I operate without access to my computer systems? Can I earn revenue?
  • Do I store sensitive information, such as contact information of subscribers or sources?
  • Do I know what to do if my systems are breached by cyber criminals?
  • Could a cyber criminal access my bank accounts?
  • Could I improve my cyber risk controls?

 

Cyber Insurance will help protect you against all of the above scenarios and can also help your organisation improve your defences against cyber risk.
