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.

The fan letters found in "Dear Mark Twain," edited by R. Kent Rasmussen, express gratitude, greed, caring, and downright delight.
Dear Sir:
We enclose herewith an obituary notice which we have long had in stock and have impatiently awaited an opportunity to publish in our weekly edition of the Cork Center Gazette, but have been prevented from giving to the public through a neglect on your part to take such action as would make the article available. We notice your advertisement in Harper's Weekly of November 15th, and hasten to enroll ourselves as competitors for the prize you offer for the best obituary upon your demise.
