Freedom Magazine is a magazine[1]published by the Church of Scientology since 1968. The magazine describes its focus as "Investigative Reporting in the Public Interest." A frequent topic is psychiatry (which Scientology strongly opposes)[2]. In 1998 James Kennedy of the Mineola American reported, "Recently [Haywood] 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." [3] 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[4]. There is also a Freedom Magazine TV Edition website[5]with about a dozen half hour videos covering similar topics to the print publication. A new program about the British BBC program was published in May 2007[6].
