Fastening our seat belts

Amelia Newcomb
Senior editor

Today was, without qualification, a “big news day.”

That’s the kind in which text messages fly, writers and editors huddle over angles, and story lineups change. How best to follow up on what looks to be a highly consequential presidential debate? How best to surface the central considerations of three consequential high court decisions on a tight deadline?

Our answers to those questions start with the expertise of the Monitor’s U.S. Supreme Court-watchers and political writers, grounded in unwavering commitment to context and fairness – and to adding light over heat. You’ll find those stories below. And don’t forget to check out our audio and graphics offerings, along with a captivating feature from the mountainous regions of rural Tunisia.

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.
