Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, 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.

12 versions that successfully brought Dickens' classic novels to the small and big screens.
A 1985 mini-series was filmed as an adaptation of Dickens' novel about a group of friends and fellow club members who travel England and then report their adventures back to one another. The movie was praised for its inclusion of details from the book, which was made possible by its six-hour running time. Nigel Stock, playing Mr. Pickwick, the founder of the club, and Patrick Malahide as Mr. Jingle, an actor with memorably odd speaking patterns, won particular praise for their performances.
