Tony Ortega Source:
Village Voice Six years ago, when I was a reporter at New Times LA, ''I’d written several stories about Scientology (Los Angeles is one of its headquarters), and I was about to uncork the longest one yet—a 7,000 word piece about an embarrassing, $8 million defeat Scientology had just suffered, when the weekly paper suddenly folded. That unpublished story has been sitting in storage ever since. Fast forward to 2008, and the world of reporting on Scientology has changed radically, thanks in part ...

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Scientology is perhaps best-known for its most famous practitioner, Tom Cruise.

Deborah O'Neil Source:
St. Petersburg Times (Florida) CLEARWATER – No angry swarms picketed the Church of Scientology last week.
No candlelight vigils. No TV cameras.
No extra police patrols.
For the first time in six years, the anniversary of the death of Scientologist Lisa McPherson passed quietly.
The McPherson maelstrom, which brought nightmarish publicity for the church, has ebbed dramatically, now that the high-profile criminal charges against the church were dropped and a raucous group of church critics recently left Clearwater.
But one critical battle remains, one so ...
