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.

From the struggle for power in Washington, D.C., to a Spanish dairy farm, to the Iraq war – here are the 10 July books to which the Monitor's book critics give the highest grades.
Do we really want to know this much about our nation's capital? Mark Leibovich, chief national correspondent for the New York Times Magazine, takes no prisoners in This Town, his tell-all account of life in Washington, DC. The media, lobbyists, politicians, their ambitious staff members – no one comes out looking very good in this dark but humorous account of the real lives of those who traffic in power. You can read the Monitor's full review of "This Town" here.
