Civil liability insurance for mass media

As a tool for communication, mass media can be a source of conflict among people as they need to find a balance between protecting individual rights and valuing the right of citizens to be informed. Predicting civil liability for media seems to be a just solution to guarantee the aforementioned balance between rights and obligations while, simultaneously serves a permission for the continuation of their activity. The public nature of the mass media and extensiveness of the damage make the compensation for probable damages to be difficult. Introducing insurances that cover civil liability increases willingness to condemning media when fail to meet the required balances. This is an important suggestion especially when considering the processes that happen in media courts that lead to the ignorance of addressing the underlying problems. Moreover, due to heavy amounts of compensation, occasionally paying them puts the economic life of the media in danger.
