Bonus Session

Media Insurance 360

New media, new coverage issues and unpredictable losses

(A Joint ABA TIPS/KCMBA Media Law Committee Presentation)

The KCMBA Media Law Committee and the ABA TIPS Media, Privacy and Defamation Law Committee are teaming up again to present free CLE on Thursday, May 3, from 4:00–5:00 p.m. The convergence of content, technology and services has resulted in media liability policies that are broader than ever. Competition among insurers remains fierce, pushing premiums and retentions to low levels despite unknown risks presented by emerging technology. Insurance veterans will analyze how media insurers will survive unpredictable losses and attendant coverage issues presented by new media.
