US organisation the Media Bloggers Association (MBA) has launched a scheme to give bloggers the same access to legal support as traditional media organisations.

The initiative includes BlogInsure, a form of liability insurance for bloggers, which will cover parties against defamation claims, allegations of copyright infringement and invasion of privacy 'arising out of blogging activities', MBA said in an announcement.

The insurance package is available through Media/Professional Insurance and will cover cost and damages incurred from such claims.
