The church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Shifting attitudes among mining communities and military recruits
Kurt Shillinger
Managing Editor
It’s Monday morning. We start with two stories that track shifts on both sides of the Atlantic. Simon Montlake takes you to County Durham, England, where the views of ordinary citizens illustrate how traditional political parties have left voters feeling dissatisfied and abandoned - and not just in the U.K. Anna Mulrine Grobe, meanwhile, reports on changing attitudes toward military service among young Americans. Welcome to a new week.
