As people in the newsroom will tell you, I am a nuance fanatic. Put simply, if something isn’t nuanced, I generally don’t believe it. The desire for simplicity leads to the temptation to simplify. The results: polarization and bad policy.
So I love Whitney Eulich’s story today, for the same reasons I loved Francine Kiefer’s last week. We all must have the freedom to make up our own minds about a difficult issue like immigration. But essential to that is actually understanding the complex portrait of what is happening.
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.
