libel
含义: A published false statement that damages a person's reputation; defamation in written or broadcast form. As a verb, to make such a statement about someone.
Libel is the written form of defamation, as distinct from slander (spoken defamation). In English law, libel has historically been treated more seriously than slander because published material reaches a wider audience and is more permanent. Newspapers employ libel lawyers to review articles before publication. The threat of a libel action is one of the most powerful deterrents in British journalism, sometimes preventing legitimate stories from being published.
