There is a company called "Newswire" which calls themselves "A Social Network for Independent Journalists". They claim (in their section on "Editorial Integrity" to abhor bias in their news stories. But their current "news" is dominated by what appears to be CoS PR about scientology and Hubbard, including stories authored by their Senior Editor, Chris Ryan.
In the "About" section of their website is described some of the capabilities of Newswire as well as their stated purpose:
Newswire’s unique value proposition lies in our Journalist Social Network. Independent writers, bloggers, photographers, and videographers represent one of the most powerful and overlooked search engine optimization forces on the Internet. Our platform gives them an editorial process, ethics policy, and the technology they need to harness their collective power and distribute news via search engine placement.
In addition, Newswire offers businesses unique access to our journalist network and technology allowing them to broadcast their message to thousands of news outlets worldwide. Newswire’s press release distribution services cater to both small/medium sized businesses and large publicly traded companies. Our distribution engine places client news on up to 50,000 sites throughout the web, gets news to National Media Outlets, and targets industry specific trade publications.

There were 8 news stories listed when I reviewed the site within the past few minutes. These were all of the listed stories:
Scientology and its Contribution to a Drug Free World
Understanding Scientology Through Dianetics
What Makes Jack Canfield America's Number One Life Coach
Scientology What Does it Mean to be "Clear"
Who was L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology
What Is Scientology?
Scientology and its Goal of Increasing Spiritual Awareness
Scientology's Contributon to Criminal Rehabilitation
Anybody beginning to see a pattern here?
If you read these stories you'll see that it's all just PR. Not a hint of anything remotely critical of the CoS, Hubbard, or any of their front groups.
They've got a feature that if you want a "journalist" to write a story for you you can specify what you want them to write about. You tell THEM what you want them to write about.

If anyone has a story that can provide some balance, please register with this site and see if you can get it posted. I believe it is free for an independent journalist to register and place stories up on their site, but not certain.
It will be interesting if we can get a critical story past their Senior Editor.
They will also allow you to issue a Press Release through their site, and it is distributed to 50,000 different sites on the internet, but those cost $400.00
