Dear Friend,
It’s been a year of progress and promise at The Christian Science Monitor since we announced, last October, our shift to being Web-first and multi-platform. We wanted to offer a few highlights and ask you to join us in sharing and spreading the Monitor’s unique brand of journalism far and wide.
Highlights: Reaching more readers in more ways than ever
-
About 2.5 million unique people visit CSMonitor.com each month. Website traffic is up, on average, 30% since last year. Our journalists now publish news at all hours of the day. An editor in Dubai even keeps watch while the Boston crew sleeps.
-
The Monitor weekly magazine has 67,000 paid subscribers. That’s a 55% increase from the 43,000 daily-edition subscribers in April. The magazine’s well-received cover stories have ranged from Inside Pakistan to Washington’s Real Power Brokers.
-
The Daily News Briefing has 1,800 paid subscribers. This printable digital subscription edition is outperforming expectations by 50%.
