The Difference Between Defamation, Libel and Slander

Defamation is defined as the issuance of a false statement about another person which causes that person to suffer harm. Slander meanwhile involves the making of defamatory statements by a transitory (non-fixed) representation, usually an oral representation. Last, Libel involves the making of defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium such as a magazine or newspaper.
