Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

From 'New York Diaries' edited by Teresa Carpenter, 10 stories of New York City through the centuries.
"Wrote a few lines to my beloved Catherine, an occupation that takes me out of this odious country – let me speak the truth! – where taste, and high feeling, and the spirit of a gentleman are understood and appreciated only by the very, very few – the helpless minority. Let me die in a ditch in England, rather than in the Fifth Avenue of New York here."
– From the diary of England's celebrated Shakespearean actor William Macready on March 6, 1849
