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.

Jon Huntsman, President Obama's former China ambassador declared his candidacy for the presidency. Dubbed “the Republican Democrats fear most,” the handsome, cerebral former governor of Utah often draws comparisons to Mr. Obama. Will that be an asset or a handicap?
Huntsman has served as US ambassador to Singapore (1992-1993), the 16th governor of Utah (2005-2009), and US ambassador to China (2009-2011).
He also served in the administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.
