Media Liability Insurance, which helps protect the insured against claims arising out of the gathering and communication of
information, is critical to any media organization. The variety of claims being asserted against the media, and the size of
jury verdicts against media organizations, are constantly on the rise. According to data released by the Libel Defense Resource
Center, the average trial award since 2000 is up to $3.4 million. By comparison, the average award in the 1990s was $2.6 million.
A sound media liability insurance program is therefore essential. Chubb's Media Liability products have been crafted by experienced
First Amendment counsel familiar with defending media claims and with counseling media clients on methods of avoiding media
claims before they occur. Chubb currently offers two products providing state-of-the-art media liability coverage: NewsMediaSM Liability Insurance, which provides coverage tailored to the specific insurance needs of news organizations, and Multimedia
Liability Insurance, which provides media coverage for virtually any class of media business.
