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.

Looking back on Rebuilding Trust
Mark Sappenfield
Today, we close our Rebuilding Trust project. During the past four months, we鈥檝e taken you to a town in France trying to piece itself together after a horrific crime. To a community in Washington state finding that things as simple as gathering trash can help soften partisan lines. And to climate scientists鈥� struggle to discover where trust in their work begins.
Since Feb. 1, we鈥檝e published 59 trust stories and 16 editorials, including five cover stories for the Monitor Weekly, five聽鈥淲hy We Wrote This鈥� podcast episodes, and one online event with author Alexandra Hudson.听
Of course, we鈥檒l continue to publish stories about trust, but we鈥檙e interested in your feedback on the project 鈥� what you appreciated, and what can be improved. We hope we were able to dive beneath the surface to show why trust is so essential to human progress, whether in war or in politics or even at the local animal shelter.听
You can find all the stories from the project here. Please let me know how we did at editor@csmonitor.com.听
