The CSM is a newspaper that covers international and United States current events. The paper includes a daily religious feature on the "The Home Forum" page, but is not a platform for evangelizing. In October 2008, citing losses of $18.9 million per year versus $12.5 million in annual revenue, the Monitor announced that it would cease printing daily and instead print weekly editions starting in April 2009. The last daily print edition was published on March 27, 2009. The Monitor continues to offer daily news online on its website and via email. Christian Science Monitor Editor John Yemma has stated that the move to go digital was made because they recognized that CSM's reach would be greater online than in print. He has also stated that in the next five years the CSM will work to increase their online readership fivefold, from 5 million page-views to 25 million. |
