Director of Editorial Innovation

Israel’s war in Gaza has stirred complex responses that are quieter than the calls to halt or speed Israel’s military response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. At the Monitor, we’re working to hear them all. Perspectives can inform decision-making.

Consider the Palestinians who are fed up with Hamas and mustering the courage to say so. Or outside critics of Israel who want to question the tactics of the Jewish state without being labeled antisemitic.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

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.
