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.

Punxsutawney Phil has been prognosticating about when spring will come since the 1880s. Here are five Punxsutawney Phil tidbits you may not have heard ahead of Groundhog Day 2011.
Punxsutawney Phil broke telecommunications ground for rodents in 2010 by allowing people to sign up for a text message notification of his prediction by texting "Groundhog" to 247365. Like any media savvy public figure, Phil is also planning to update his Facebook status and tweet his prediction as well this year.
