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.

May 21, 2025 What a book on Biden shows

The public’s right to know is one of the most cherished contracts in the American ideal of self-government. In Washington, that idea faces a test. A new book out Tuesday by two seasoned Washington correspondents alleges that close allies of President Joe Biden, including his family, concealed the extent of his mental decline. But “Original Sin” isn’t just about an alleged cover-up that left the Democratic Party scrambling for a new candidate late in the election year. It’s also about a press corps that some observers say didn’t push hard enough to get at the facts in real time. More books are coming. The “what if’s” of the Biden-Trump years persist.

Editor’s note: To make our news more accessible, the Monitor is trying out an automated audio tool. For the next two weeks, each of our featured Daily stories will have an audio player with the full read of the story.
