Defamation in print (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

libel

'defamation in print' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for libel that I've seen before include "Written defamation" , "Calumnious writing" , "Offence" , "Damaging publication" , "Defame in writing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, the Universal, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
