What is slander in journalism?

Slander is a surprisingly specific term. Most people assume that it is when someone lies in any form of media.

Slander is specific to something being fleeting, or once it is said then it can't be taken back. Plus it does not have anything to do with printed material. Slander must be something that is false and damages reputation of the individual.

Most of the time, in order to prove a slander case, the victim must prove falsity, identification, broadcast (or at least one person heard it, even if you aren't talking to them), and monetary harm.

Basically, slander = false harmful speech. Libel = written false harmful Words.
