The statute of limitations for defamation is governed by the single-publication rule. Under that rule, "any form of mass communication or aggregate publication . . . is a single communication and can give rise to only one action for libel." The rule applies "where communication is simultaneously available to multiple persons." Under the single-publication rule, the statement is considered published and "the statute of limitations runs as soon as the communication enters the stream of commerce."
