Media Liability vs. E&O: What Is the Difference?

Media liability covers defined publication claims; broader professional liability may cover other service errors, and some businesses need both.

The labels do not show whether the quotes cover the same work.

Compare services, claim types, exclusions, retroactive dates, defense costs, and limits. If you advise clients and create content, confirm whether one policy covers both.
