Christian Sciene Monitor - nuachtán laethúil le dul ar-líne
B'fhéidir gur leor nód don eolach. Seo scéal ó cheann de na páipéirí fadbhunaithe sna Stáit Aontaithe, páipéar a bhfuil clú agus cáil air.
Bunaíodh an Monitor 100 bliain ó shin, ar an mhí seo chugainn, agus tá seacht duais Pulitzer bainte aige.
'The Christian Science Monitor plans major changes in April 2009 that are expected to make it the first newspaper with a national audience to shift from a daily print format to an online publication that is updated continuously each day.
The changes at the Monitor will include enhancing the content on CSMonitor.com, starting weekly print and daily e-mail editions, and discontinuing the current daily print format.
This new, multiplatform strategy for the Monitor will "secure and enlarge the Monitor's role in its second century," said Mary Trammell, editor in chief of The Christian Science Publishing Society and a member of the Christian Science Board of Directors. Mrs. Trammell said that "journalism that seeks to bless humanity, not injure, and that shines light on the world's challenges in an effort to seek solutions, is at the center of Mary Baker Eddy's vision for the Monitor. The method of delivery and format are secondary" and need to be adjusted, given Mrs. Eddy's call to keep the Monitor "abreast of the times."
While the Monitor's print circulation, which is primarily delivered by US mail, has trended downward for nearly 40 years, "looking forward, the Monitor's Web readership clearly shows promise," said Judy Wolff, chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society. "We plan to take advantage of the Internet in order to deliver the Monitor's journalism more quickly, to improve the Monitor's timeliness and relevance, and to increase revenue and reduce costs. We can do this by changing the way the Monitor reaches its readers."
The coming changes, over two years in the planning stage, occur at a time of fundamental transition in news publishing and turn the page on a remarkable chapter in American journalism.
The Monitor, which celebrates its 100th anniversary on Nov. 25, was launched at the direction of church founder Eddy, who had been the subject of a searing legal and journalistic attack by Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. Officials of her church had a professional news organization up and running in just over 100 days.
In the Monitor's first edition, Mrs. Eddy defined the scope and tone of the newspaper's journalistic mission, writing that it should "injure no man, but bless all mankind."
Since that time, generations of editorial and publishing workers have devoted themselves to the Monitor. While Mrs. Eddy's paper was initially greeted with skepticism, the Monitor won respect from its journalistic peers; it has been awarded seven Pulitzer Prizes and numerous other journalistic accolades. Three Monitor editors have been elected president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

a fearn a chara, uimhir a haon - is eol duit ainm an CSM agus cad e ata ann. Agus sin do nuachtán atá i Meiriceá agus gan oiread seans ag daoine anseo é a léamh. Uimhir a dó - beidh siad ag díriú anois ar lucht léitheoireachta ar-líne seachas lucht léitheoireachta i gceantar nó i dtír faoi leith. Tá féidearthachtaí iontacha ag dul leis an nuachtán ar-líne agus b'fhiú idir bhuntáistí is míbhuntáistí a phlé. Ach idir an dá linn tá gá le gníomh seachas níos mó cainte faoi nuacht seirbhís le teacht i gcomharbacht Lá Nua.
