Best Answer

A newspaper article printing an article that contains false information with regards to an individual or organisation would be libellous. For instance, if the article incorrectly stated that a person had a criminal record, or claimed that the person had said something that they had not. Certain tabloid newspapers are notorious for libel, due to not checking their sources sufficiently.

Libel is an incident of defamation in writing, as opposed to slander, which is a spoken defamation.
