CREATE
INSURANCE
FOR THE
MEDIA?
OUR MISSION
Starting with Insurance For Journalists — we quickly identified a need for comprehensive insurance in other high-risk roles — production, photography, videography and a wider range of media roles — as well as the demand for organisations and contractors to be able to arrange cover for their local teams -- including media support, drivers, translators, fixers and guides -- as part of their duty of care.
Each month Insurance For Group protects a diverse range of individuals and organisations carrying out vital work in some of the most challenging locations in the world — providing more than US$140 million in cover across all policies.
