From dictionary.com, the definition of defamation:

1. to attack the good name or reputation of, as by uttering or publishing maliciously or falsely anything injurious; slander or libel; calumniate: The newspaper editorial defamed the politician.

This is a simple definition. DZ would have to prove that DePauw was publishing malicious or false information.
