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.

Spring is in the air (well, almost, anyway) and a new crop of books has just arrived. Here are some of the Monitor book critics' favorite March picks.
In 1993, New York Times writer Bruce Weber rode his bike from California to New York, chronicling his trip as he went. Now, at the age of 57 – older and wiser – Weber repeats the feat, musing as he goes on the larger journey of life itself. Weber's trip – and his thoughts – are distilled into a read that is both entertaining and thoughtful. You can see the Monitor's full review of "Life Is a Wheel" here.
