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.

If e-books were the new family on the block in 2010, they’re putting down roots and settling in for good in 2011. Here are five reasons why you can be sure that e-books are here to stay.
That’s right, in late January Amazon announced that sales of Kindle e-books are outpacing paperback sales. For every 100 paperbacks sold in 2010, Amazon sold 115 Kindle e-books. Kindle e-books had already started outselling hardcover books in July 2010 (for every 100 hardcover books, Amazon said it sold 143 e-books). That means e-books are the most popular format on Amazon, one of the biggest booksellers in the country.
