True independence in journalism
Christa Case Bryant
If Parisians think they鈥檙e sweaty, one can only imagine sitting in the Pennsylvania State House hammering out the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 wearing wigs and waistcoats. There the founders coalesced behind the idea that 鈥渁ll men are ... endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.鈥�
The founder of this newspaper, Mary Baker Eddy, echoed that declaration by articulating another trio of inalienable rights: self-government, reason, and conscience. The Monitor strives to honor your right to reach your own well-reasoned views, and equip you to do so. That鈥檚 true independence.
