What does broadcasters’ professional indemnity and errors and omissions insurance cover?

The broadcasting of any content, regardless of the topic, has an element of risk.

In some cases, the genre of the content may be very low risk or un-contentious, but that doesn’t mean a person or company won’t raise a grievance.

The primary risk in broadcasting is defamation, and what is defined as slander.

The risks associated with live reporting and more contentious content, usually associated with investigative journalism or topics of a religious, political of commercially-sensitive nature, carry an increased defamation risk. Defamation claims, even those entirely unfounded can result in expensive legal costs. Our publishers’ insurance provides a legal defence for your business and helps with the costs of putting things right, if you are liable.

The right insurance protects your business, its reputation and balance sheet.
