Defamation is a false statement that concerns another, an unprivileged publication of a statement to a third party (somebody other than the person defamed by the statement). It is also considered defamation if the matter is of public concern, fault being on behalf of the publisher.
Slander is the making of a defamatory statement by a transitory representation, usually a spoken representation.
Libel is the making of defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium (magazines or newspaper).
