Award Received
In 2006 Freedom Magazine was awarded first prize in the category, 'Writing for the Web', by the National Federation of Press Women for the story, 'North America's Crime of the Century? The Dark Mystery of the Duplessis Orphans, by Christine Hahn and Thomas G. Whittle.
Coverage
In 1998 James Kennedy of the Mineola American reported, "Recently Nelson, joined by fellow entertainers Isaac Hayes, Anne Archer and Chick Corea honored eleven human rights activists who have fought for children, religion and individual human rights at the 30th anniversary of Freedom Magazine, the Church of Scientology's investigative news journal, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C."
Freedom is also the title of a number of regional newspapers distributed by the Church of Scientology, which report on activities of Scientology and related organizations.
Content
A nineteen-part series in the magazine became the best-seller JFK by L. Fletcher Prouty which was later filmed by Oliver Stone as an exposé of the President's assassination plot.
In 1994, the magazine ran what it called an "expose" on what it described as a "history of prejudice" toward minority groups and women by the Saint Petersburg Times, a newspaper which the Church of Scientology had some three months earlier accused of "inflammatory" coverage based on "lies and innuendo". It specifically mentioned the newspaper had a low percentage of African Americans in senior and management positions, and quotes one former employee of the paper who claimed that it had a glass ceiling for women. It finally also accused the editor of the Times, Andy Barnes, of a "striking lack of sensitivity" for some of his comments regarding the newspaper's efforts to actively recruit minorities.
