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.
About us
The sometimes disorienting year of AI
Happy Wednesday.聽
Yesterday, we heard from Washington. Today, Stephen Humphries, who watches the culture on many fronts for the Monitor, goes deep on what AI meant across his beat 鈥� and in his life 鈥� during 2025.聽
There will be no Daily tomorrow, as we pause for New Year鈥檚 Day. On Friday, look for a fan favorite that鈥檚 built on some staff favorites. Monitor photographers review the year in images and hold up a handful that really stood out to them.聽
Happy New Year. Thank you for being part of the Monitor family. A reminder that you can find news briefs and more stories 鈥� including one today on the start of New York City鈥檚 Zohran Mamdani era tomorrow 鈥� over聽on our homepage. 鈥� Editors
