One of the journalists hired through the Church of Scientology to investigate a Florida newspaper’s reporting on it has defended his participation. Steve Weinberg, a former executive director of Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc., a professional organization at the Missouri School of Journalism, was editor for the project, along with Russell Carollo, a Pulitzer Price-winning journalist while at the Dayton, Ohio Daily News, and Christopher Szechenyi, a one-time “60 Minutes” producer and Emmy recipient, who both gathered information.
The church, which is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, has objected for a number of years to the coverage of it in the St. Petersburg Times. The Times declined to cooperate in the probe by the organization.
