Last week, a United Nations task force made an alarming statement: “Never in modern history have so many people faced starvation and famine as in Sudan today.”
It is happening largely in the dark. Foreign journalists face difficulties accessing the war-torn area. Local journalists are intimidated or killed.
This week, we’re publishing three stories about Sudan, starting today. We are also making a statement. The articles explore how people are surviving the war – where they draw hope and the sense of family and community they’ve fought to retain. But they also ask the world to bring this crisis into the light.
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.
