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.

Stories of now, stories of us

News becomes less abstract when it鈥檚 grounded in humanity. Plenty of media outlets have figured that out. For the Monitor, it鈥檚 an organizing principle. Our coverage routinely involves smart uses of our lens.
For Gaza鈥檚 residents, now absorbing news of another Hamas leader鈥檚 death, the devastating conflict now deepens empathy for the Lebanese under fire to their north (watch for our report soon). Among Jewish residents in France, solidarity girds a refusal to live in fear of those who fuel antisemitism. In countries from Canada to Australia, governments work to foster an understanding that skilled immigrants are essential聽to social welfare.
These are stories of shared values. They鈥檙e stories of us.
