Media Insurance

It can often be the case that the most dangerous and high risk locations around the world are where the story is. Be it on the frontline in Afghanistan or Libya, witnessing a civil uprising in the MENA region or covering an election or a humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa. The role of the media in reporting unfolding events of great importance is crucial.

Frontier is experienced at working with individual members of the media industry from various countries (journalists, reporters, photographers and camera operators) as well as international media organisations to provide comprehensive insurance solutions to protect people, equipment and reputations in high risk locations such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria and South Sudan.

All of our insurance policies are ‘A’ Rated and underwritten mainly through Lloyd’s of London.

There are several insurances to consider when reporting from a high risk location.

• Kidnap and Ransom Insurance Your workers can be seen as a target for kidnap or extortion. The Kidnap and Ransom response teams that we use have a high level of training and proven experience. There are no geographical limitations on this insurance and personnel can have worldwide cover if needed.
• Emergency Evacuation Insurance Emergency Evacuation cover is essential for anyone working in a high risk or remote location where there is limited infrastructure or nearby medical facilities. Our multilingual evacuation coordinators are dedicated to handling cases from high risk locations. Using advanced technology, they provide a rapid and streamlined response to a medical or political crisis situation anywhere in the world.
• Personal Accident (PA) Insurance PA is a cost effective means of cover should one of your workers be involved in an accident on site or elsewhere. Our policies include War and Terrorism cover as standard and Medical Evacuation expenses can also be included.
• Income Protection Insurance When operating in high risk locations, it’s important that the welfare of your staff and their families is protected and our Income Protection policies can help to do this.
• Global Life Insurance Our Group Life cover provides reassurance that in the event of death, your employees' dependents will be looked after financially up to an agreed sum.
• Online Travel Insurance At frontiertravelinsurance.com you can get immediate and comprehensive travel insurance cover to Iraq or Afghanistan with War and Terrorism cover included in the price.
