The publication 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. A grievance can be anything from allegations that content is not original to a breach of confidentiality or privacy.
The risks associated with more contentious content, usually associated with investigative journalism, biographies 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.
