Reading the news in a new way

A new, deeper approach to reporting [View in browser]( [The Christian Science Monitor] [ Kim Proctor Product Manager Dear Friend of the Monitor, Is it possible to read the news these days without feeling angry or sad afterwards? Alternatively, is it possible to read news that highlights humanity’s progress in the world? We at the Monitor say yes. Our new, deeper approach to reporting fends off the news fatigue generated by a constant focus on only problems and conflicts.We still report about hard issues, but we will highlight the underlying qualities and values influencing the news. It makes the news thought-provoking in a positive, generous way. Weekly and Daily readers will now see a value, like “compassion” or “respect” or “perseverance,” highlighted in the “Why We Wrote This” box within the articles you read. It looks like this: Weekly print readers can join our Daily email readers in searching through the new [News & Values]( page on our website. You can read your news in a variety of ways: - Read the three most recent stories tied to each value. - Find news stories tied to any of our 25 values. - Select one value and read recent stories connected to that value. - Click on the value within the “Why We Wrote This” box within an online story, and it will send you to the [News & Values]( page, highlighting for you more stories with that same value This is a first step in highlighting values–a step unique in the news industry. We’ll be back in touch to share changes to home page and other features on [csmonitor.com](. So have a look at the new [News & Values]( page. We hope it makes your news gathering something you look forward to doing along with us.
