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.

Ah, those last few weeks of summer! Which books are worthy of your attention as we inch back toward fall? Here are 10 August releases that the Monitor's book critics found particularly good.
It's 1879. As a rapt nation watches, a young US Navy officer and his crew head north to the Arctic – and unimaginable disaster and drama. This gripping nonfiction title by historian Hampton Sides (author of "Hellhound on his Trail," an extraordinary 2011 book about the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination) is an epic, dark, heroic page-turner. You can see the Monitor's full review of "In the Kingdom of Ice" here.
