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.

The Monitor takes a different view, and wins an award for it
Mark Sappenfield
This morning, we learned that Christa Case Bryant鈥檚 coverage of Washington has won a Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists. The awards were established in 1932 and had more than 1,200 entrants across all categories. They鈥檙e among the most prestigious awards in American journalism.
Christa won for being different. From looking at Jan. 6 security to the Biden administration鈥檚 COVID-19 response to one senator鈥檚 Instagram quest, Christa broke through partisan narratives to look at the issues in a new light. One judge said her work was an 鈥渆ye-opening鈥� exploration of 鈥渢he problems of government bureaucracy.鈥�
It鈥檚 a wonderful recognition not only of the Monitor鈥檚 quality, but also of our commitment to seeing the world differently.
