Does Media Liability Cover Libel?
Some media forms list libel as a covered offense when it arises from covered work and meets reporting conditions.
The reviewed Hiscox form names libel, but coverage still depends on who is insured, when the claim is made, and whether an exclusion applies.
Check the offense wording, knowing-falsity and prior-matter exclusions, retroactive date, reporting deadline, and defense-cost limit.
