Zulu gangs cartoon

The cartoon is not factually correct, as shown by Judge Goldstone's Commission of Inquiry, which found no evidence of police involvement in the Boipatong massacre. The police also do not drive open land rover-type vehicles where they would be sitting ducks to snipers. Neither is there a 911 emergency call number in South Africa. And people in South Africa drive right-handed vehicles not left-handed as drawn in the cartoon. W. Davidson, Richards Bay, South Africa

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.
