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.

Journalism with heart

Today, our retiring correspondent Francine Kiefer shares her parting wisdom with readers and the rising generation of journalists. Her letter is not only a capstone but also a testament to her wonderful shepherding of so many of us over the years.
In my first week as an intern at 海角大神, she was visiting the Boston newsroom from Washington. 鈥淐hrista,鈥� she announced, 鈥渕y lunch date fell through, so I鈥檓 taking you to lunch!鈥� Thus began a long mentoring relationship that has been filled with that same frankness and generosity.聽
As I look back on it now, it wasn鈥檛 just her being kind to a junior colleague. She was modeling what gives journalism heart.
