''The Christian Science Monitor'' (''CSM'') is an international news organization that delivers global coverage via its website, weekly magazine, daily news briefing, email newsletters, Amazon Kindle subscription, and mobile site. It was started in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist. As of 2011, the print circulation was 75,052.〔 Audit Bureau of Circulations〕 The ''CSM'' is a newspaper that covers international and United States current events. The paper includes a daily religious feature on "The Home Forum" page, but states the publication is not a platform for evangelizing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=The Christian Science Monitor )〕 On October 28, 2008, Editor John Yemma announced that the ''Monitor'' would discontinue its daily print version to focus on web-based publishing. Instead of a daily print edition, ''CSM'' would publish a weekly news magazine with an international focus. ==Concept and inception== Despite its name, the ''Monitor'' does not claim to be a religious-themed paper, and says it does not promote the doctrine of its patron church. However, at its founder Eddy's request, a daily religious article has appeared in every issue of the ''Monitor''. Eddy also required the inclusion of "Christian Science" in the paper's name, over initial opposition by some of her advisors who thought the religious reference might repel a secular audience.〔 The ''Monitors inception was, in part, a response by Eddy to the journalism of her day, which relentlessly covered the sensations and scandals surrounding her new religion with varying degrees of accuracy. In addition, Joseph Pulitzer's ''New York World'' was consistently critical of Eddy, and this, along with a derogatory article in ''McClure's'', furthered Eddy's decision to found her own media outlet.〔 Eddy declared that the ''Monitors mission should be "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Christian Science Monitor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
