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.

Joan Wehlen Morrison's diary capturing life in Chicago before and during World War II offers insight into the era. Here are 7 of Morrison's stories from "Home Front Girl."
"It was Coronation Day. I woke up at five o'clock, turned off the alarm, awoke again at six and listened to the actual coronation. I bundled up in all my blankets, leaving one ear out, and sat on the sofa listening.... Wonder what Edward VIII who abdicated is thinking tonight.... Well, Coronation or no Coronation – there was school today."
