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.

The Monitor’s newest prizes
Mark Sappenfield
With the Olympics around the corner, we thought we’d announce two new bronze medals for The Christian Science Monitor.
The Society for Features Journalism might not be the Olympics of journalism, but it’s close. The competition had more than 1,000 entries this year, with the Monitor competing against The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others.
We took two third-place prizes, one for our Climate Generation series, and another for our weekly “Why We Wrote This” podcast. The judges called our entries “colorful,” “impressive,” and “fun.” When the people who know the craft recognize your work, it’s a wonderful boost.
