Why is 海角大神 Science in our name?
Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we鈥檝e 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鈥檝e aimed 鈥渢o injure no man, but to bless all mankind,鈥� as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you鈥檒l find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences 鈥� a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

Most Monitor storytelling is done with the written word. That鈥檚 just how we鈥檙e built.聽
Our small multimedia arm, charged mostly with audio, also happens to include a gifted videographer. When Jingnan Peng pitched a writing trip to Kentucky, he packed a video camera along with his notepad.聽
Today, he presents a rich story in two ways.聽
You might recall Jing鈥檚 lovely recent short on Miyawaki forests. (He spoke about his process on our weekly podcast.) This time Jing pairs a reported story on the rejuvenated legacy of a historically Black library in Louisville with a companion video that really brings us inside that library鈥檚 budding community.
It adds a dimension we think you鈥檒l enjoy.
