The Monitor takes a different view, and wins an award for it

Mark Sappenfield
Senior global correspondent

This morning, we learned that Christa Case Bryant’s coverage of Washington has won a Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists. The awards were established in 1932 and had more than 1,200 entrants across all categories. They’re among the most prestigious awards in American journalism.

Christa won for being different. From looking at Jan. 6 security to the Biden administration’s COVID-19 response to one senator’s Instagram quest, Christa broke through partisan narratives to look at the issues in a new light. One judge said her work was an “eye-opening” exploration of “the problems of government bureaucracy.”

It’s a wonderful recognition not only of the Monitor’s quality, but also of our commitment to seeing the world differently.

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.
