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.

With the 2012 campaigns not far off, the departures of these incumbents are shaking things up. Here's how.
Senator Akaka is the third-oldest lawmaker in the Senate. The octogenarian was appointed to the seat in 1990, after the death of Sen. Spark Matsunaga, and he was elected later that year to finish out Matsunaga’s term.
