Note: in adding news articles to the following list, we do not favour one side (pro- or anti-Narconon) over the other; if there seem to be a lot of unfavourable articles, that is because there have been a lot of unfavourable articles printed.

We have also included a small number of articles focusing on Scientology's Purification Rundown - as the direct equivalent of Narconon's detoxification course, many of the issues and concerns are basically the same.
