China Wakes

I am reading China Wakes by Nicholas Kristof and Cheryl Wudunn. They are New York Times correspondents. This book discusses life in China during their five years in Beijing. The writing is smooth and well paced. It was written about 10 years ago, but many of their observations are still pertinent and most interesting.

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.
