Defamation is a law, that when the media/ an aspect of the
media offends you or hurts you and affects your livelihood / reputation and the
people around you (negatively), a civil remedy is provided to you (procedures
and sanctions).
Libel is a false statement that is published about a person
in the media. It is a written defamation that damages a person’s reputation.
Slander is similar to libel, it’s the action or crime that
gives false statements about a person, and so damages person’s reputation.
The difference between libel and slander is that libel is a
written statement whilst slander is spoken
