Spreading false information and defamation of Steve Kim
Hi, I am translating a news article into English and need help.
"Spreading false information and defamation of Steve Kim" is the title of the article.
I am not sure if that means 1) Steve Kim spread false information and defame others or 2) Steve Kim was defamed and someone else spread false information about him.
What I need to express is no. 1 (Steve Kim is the one who did these)
I am very confused sometimes the meaning of "of", because somehow "of" might mean both cases.
Thank you for your help again.

Defamation is the spreading of false information, so you don't need both. It would help if you mentioned the person who was defamed. Then you could write Steve Kim's defamation of John Jones as your title.
