Do police and protesters have to see each other as the enemy? That question is at the heart of our “Why We Wrote This” podcast today, and the answer matters beyond law enforcement, I think.
Changing how others view us is often more about changing our behavior than about changing theirs. That’s a lesson that Columbus, Ohio, learned, but that seems much bigger than one town in the American Midwest.
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.
