Audio Chat "The Monitor angle and the spirit of the news."

On-line chat with Marshall Ingwerson, Editor of The Christian Science Monitor.

Ever wondered about how a news organization chooses the way it covers a story? What to include and not to include? Or what's a story in the first place?

If there's a difference between its choices for the website and print? When Mary Baker Eddy founded The Christian Science Monitor, she gave it the mission, “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 353). For more than a century, the Monitor has been filling that mission while covering war and peace, economic downturns and upturns, scientific advancements, civil rights, and a host of other human challenges and achievements.

You will have an opportunity to ask questions of Marshall about the Monitor itself, about news and what makes news organizations tick.
