Why is Christian Science in our name?
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.

When war hits hard
Amelia Newcomb
It can be extremely difficult, and an act of bravery, to write about personal loss amid a war that is affecting millions of people. In our lead story, two Monitor correspondents – Dina Kraft in Israel and Ghada Abdulfattah in Gaza – share how the news of the past few days, of hostages killed and homes leveled, transformed their lives forever. I hope you’ll read their heartfelt accounts, and embrace these two journalists as we at the Monitor are – and, in doing so, honor the humanity of all those caught up in the conflict raging around them.
