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.

Here are glimpses of the motivation that keeps these 10 well known writers at work.
"When the writing's going well – I'm trying not to sound clichéd – I feel fueled by a hidden source. During those times it doesn't matter if things are going wrong in my life; I have this alternate energy source that's active. When the writing's going poorly, it's as bad or worse than not writing at all. There's a leak or a drain, and energy is pouring out of it. Even when the rest of my life is fine, I feel like something's really bad."
