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.

At morning meetings, Monitor editors jostle to get their writers鈥� work into the Daily. A heavy news flow has brought lots of friendly elbowing.
Besides the breaking news on the Donald Trump verdict, today鈥檚 lineup includes a must-read report from the Black Sea on how Ukraine might be quietly reopening a sea-lane, and an election-eve take from Mexico on what鈥檚 behind the (surprisingly limited) political noise around migrants.聽
Both reports 鈥� and the others 鈥� showcase our commitment to getting you the stories behind big stories.聽
Finally, you can savor聽Peter Rainer鈥檚 film review. Of a director whose first animated movie, 鈥淩obot Dreams,鈥� earns a rare five stars from Peter, he writes this: 鈥淗e鈥檚 a voluptuary of the everyday.鈥� Not bad for a Thursday.
