MIC Ltd. was founded by American news media companies some 60 years ago to help protect their First Amendment interests and that goal remains a core value as MIC continues to insure news and entertainment companies.

MIC has insured the media/content industry consecutively for longer than any other insurance company in the US and has client relationships spanning decades.  Our focus is on long-term, predictable, and sustainable terms and we pride ourselves on working through difficult renewals and claims activity without non-renewing or exiting the marketplace.

"Protecting the first amendment is our primary mission"

MIC’s claims team specializes in serving U.S. media insureds and its team members are well-acquainted with the most-respected U.S. media defense counsel in the country, having handled complex claims for the largest national publishers and broadcasters as well as major studios, independent production companies and non-profit media organizations.

We pride ourselves on honesty and consistency in interpretation of policy terms and supporting—rather than directing—our Insureds and their counsel in the defense of claims. With responsive claims handling and an unfaltering corporate commitment to the First Amendment,
MIC will always put the client’s interests first.
