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 moves forward
Christa Case Bryant
Today, we mark a transition as our editor for the past eight years, Mark Sappenfield, hands the baton to me.
We have a big challenge before us, but a rich history to draw on. The Monitor鈥檚 mission was forged in the crucible of what our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, experienced with yellow journalism. She established this paper not to retaliate against her adversaries but to uplift the standard of journalism. In our first issue, she wrote, 鈥淭he object of the Monitor is to injure no man, but to bless all mankind.鈥�
This is the spirit carrying us forward into this next chapter, and we鈥檙e glad you鈥檙e with us.
