libel, slander and defamation insurance

lizmoz

I'm a journalist who has co authored a book and regularly publish articles. Nowadays publishers ask you generally to indemnify them. I don't believe I've written anything libellous, but just in case...anyone any idea where I can get the cheapest libel, slander and defamation insurance from that would cover me and my partner via my company? I've been quoted silly prices so far.

Thanks

Libel damages tend to be big.. so insurance is expensive... make sure you check and recheck your facts.. and be prepared to do a lot of apologising.. if you're in a position where you feel you might get sued, get the insurance no matter how costly.. remember how much the yorkshire rippers wife got? is the insurance more than that?
