A publication of defamatory matter shall be deemed not to have been made in
good faith by a person, within the meaning of section 199, if it is made to appear
either—
(a) that the matter was untrue, and that he did not believe it to be true; or
(b) that the matter was untrue, and that he published it without having
taken reasonable care to ascertain whether it was true or false; or
(c) that, in publishing the matter, he acted with intent to injure the person
defamed in a substantially greater degree or substantially otherwise
