Libel:

reputation.

Publication:
Publication is the unconsented intentional or negligent communication of defamatory matter to a third parry. Publication includes any means of communication by which a third party actually receives the defamatory message. If you accuse a person privately of a fraud or incompetence you have no legal consequences. But if this accusation is made in front of a third person who is not privileged you may be subject to legal action. 

Libellous and slanderous statements both are subject to legal action. Since libellous statements are more permanent, laws about libel are more severe than those about slander.

Accidental communications to third persons, such as eavesdroppers or unauthorized letter readers, are not actionable.
