About the Christian Science Monitor: The Monitor is an independent voice. Since 1908, it has been published as a public service by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and has received seven Pulitzer prizes and more than a dozen Overseas Press Club awards. The Monitor has built a reputation in the journalism world for the credibility and fair-mindedness of its reporting. It is produced for anyone who seeks news reported with compassion and intelligence. For many, that caring has religious roots. For many, it does not. The Monitor has always embraced both audiences.
