How It Works

Libel: An Introduction

Libel is defamation involving a false statement about a person or entity published or distributed to a third party. The false statement is targeted at damaging the reputation of the person or entity in question. For example, if a newspaper publishes an article stating that a well-known public figure engaged in criminal activity when, in fact, they did not, that would be considered libel. Similarly, if an individual makes a false statement on social media about a business that causes harm to its reputation, that could also be considered libel.
