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.

A new collection of essays from Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the election of former President Barack Obama followed by the election of President Trump whom Mr. Coates argues is America's "first white president." The collection takes it title from the lament of a Reconstruction-era black politician in 1895 when white supremacist rule returned to the South. Coates "writes with a powerful sense of humility and self-realization," writes Chris Hartman, a Monitor reviewer.
