Coaches deserve better

  • By Tina Wilson Roos Special to The Christian Science Monitor

Don Canham, University of Michigan athletic director. "I have a background in business and the sharpest guys I've met are college football coaches. They're bright and articulate -- and underpaid.

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.
