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.

If you haven't yet seen any or all of my top 10, I envy what awaits you. These are Monitor Film Critic Peter Rainer's favorite films of the year.
Marco Bellocchio's fervid drama about the rise of Mussolini and the hushed-up story of the wife and child he abandoned is in many ways the most jolting experience I had in the movies all year. It's about the tragedy of totalitarianism and its impact on the human soul. As the discarded wife, Giovanna Mezzogiorno gives a performance of Anna Magnani-like intensity.
