обида vs. клевета
Запознах се с предоставената информация за двата термина и търсейки информация за правните понятия, употребими в България намерих следната разработка, която засяга тези въпроси. Смятам, че в българското законодателство аналогичните термини са клевета и обида, като разликата в тях е начина на разпространение на неверните и уронващи репутацията факти, съответно чрез медиите в публичното пространство, обикновено в писмен вид и устно. Прилагам откъс от разработката тук, а с целия текст може да се запознаете на посочения линк:
"Освен в международните договори и правото на ЕС, българското национално законодателство защитава доброто име, като определя конкретна наказателна отговорност при нарушението. В България се различават два отделни състава по Наказателния кодекс - обида и клевета. Дефинициите са: обида - „който каже или извърши нещо унизително за другиго в негово присъствие”; клевета - „който разпространи позорящо обстоятелство за другиго или му припише престъпление”.

писмена клевета/очерняне vs. устна клевета/очерняне
Learn when to use the term slander. Slander is used when the defamation of character is spoken. This can be person to person or a person speaking to many people.
Say the term libel when referring to the written defamation of someone's character. Libel is the defamation of an individual's or an entity's character which is published in a written medium, such as a newspaper. However, any written communication can be libelous as long as it's transmitted to a third party.

Slander and libel
The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel[12][13] (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.
"Defamation" is the general term used internationally, and is used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between "slander" and "libel". Libel and slander both require publication.[14] The fundamental distinction between libel and slander lies solely in the form in which the defamatory matter is published. If the offending material is published in some fleeting form, as by spoken words or sounds, sign language, gestures and the like, then this is slander. If it is published in more durable form, for example in written words, film, compact disc (CD), DVD, blogging and the like, then it is considered libel." The debate whether Internet blogs or Bulletin Boards are publishers is a key subject being addressed, whereas an Internet based community is more akin to conversations in a bar or pub, with content being written as an ongoing dialogue that is generally not edited or regulated such as in the publishing industry.[15]

струва ми се че "в медиите"/ "в публичното пространство" може да е най-доброто за лиbel

Discussion
Use the libel term when the defamation of character comes from audible media. Now, most courts consider defamation of character made during a radio or television broadcast to also be libel, even though the defamation was spoken.

Slander is the oral communication of false statements that are harmful to a person's reputation. If the statements are proven to be true, it is a complete defense to a charge of slander. Oral opinions that don't contain statements of fact don't constitute slander. Slander is an act of communication that causes someone to be shamed, ridiculed, held in contempt, lowered in the estimation of the community, or to lose employment status or earnings or otherwise suffer a damaged reputation. Slander is a subcategory of defamation.
