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.

Here are glimpses of the motivation that keeps these 10 well known writers at work.
"I'm usually not writing fiction, so I'm not wracking my brain for good ideas. My good ideas come from the world. I harvest them but I don't have to think them up. All I have to do is take these things I've seen – things people have said to me, things I've researched, artifacts from the world – and convert them into sequences of words that people want to read. It's this weird alchemy, a kind of magic. If you do it right, it will get read."
