New Editor at The Christian Science Monitor
The Christian Science Board of Directors has elected Mark Sappenfield to serve as the next Editor of The Christian Science Monitor, succeeding Marshall Ingwerson, who announced his resignation in December.
Mark, a twenty-year veteran with the Monitor, has held assignments in Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington, DC, and South Asia. Returning from New Delhi, India, to Boston in 2009, Mark was named Deputy National News Editor, and in September 2014 he became National News Editor and joined the Monitor Editorial Managing Team.
Sharing his conviction about the Monitor’s unique place, Mark recently talked about the need for the Monitor to once again help lead a renovation in journalism. “Done correctly, journalism can be an agent of healing and hope because it is not about arguing over facts and events but getting to the basic issues that matter so greatly to us all. It is about taking account of lasting values and spiritual qualities that animate everyone and make for human progress—qualities such as goodness, grace, justice, courage, humility, joy. Our reporting is guided and defined by them. It aims for excellence—stories well told, accurately and fairly.”
