Does Media Liability Cover Slander?
Some media forms cover slander tied to covered work; interviews, broadcasts, and live content still must meet the policy conditions.
The reviewed Hiscox form names slander, but interviews, broadcasts, and live shows must meet the activity and reporting terms.
Check guest statements, edited or republished content, knowing-falsity exclusions, retroactive dates, and defense-cost limits. Keep the issued policy and endorsements for the relevant period.
