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 election homestretch
Mark Sappenfield
My sister used to be in politics, and she said elections were all about building a narrative that would crescendo in the final days before the vote. In some ways, that same calendar applies to the Monitor, too.
In the homestretch before the United States presidential election, you’ll see us focusing on many stories that set the scene for next Tuesday – less as prognostications, more as highlighting trends and setting expectations. The hope is to help keep you focused on what’s going on beneath the noise.
