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.

Computers, canines, superheroes, and Civil War icons star in the Monitor's "10 best books of October" list.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Marilynne Robinson returns for the third time to the fictional town of Gilead, Iowa, previously explored in her novels "Gilead" and "Home." This time Robinson tells the story of Lila, the young bride of the elderly Reverend Ames, the protagonist of "Gilead." "Lila" is illuminated with the spiritual grace readers have come to expect of this thoughtful trilogy. You can see the Monitor's full review of "Lila" here.
