Libel is a defamatory statement recorded in writing or some other permanent form. A libel may also be recorded by radio or television in some circumstances. Unlike other states, Florida does not permit presumed damages in libel cases; some evidence of actual injury must be established. Slander is spoken defamation. 1  This is distinguishable from libel in that the defamation is in less permanent and less physical form. Where the original defamation may be libel, any repetition, even if oral, is also libel. However, the written repetition of a slander will be characterized as libel.
