The quick answer: good stories like this one on US plans to start regulating carbon emissions.
The longer answer: As the name indicates, the CSM was founded by Mary Baker Eddy. She made a few very specific stipulations when she created the paper: the name couldn't change, and each paper must have at least one article on Christian Science (the Monitor's website does a good job of explaining all of this as well). Aside from that, the paper's motto is: "To injure no man, to bless all mankind." And aside from those two characteristics, it has no other overtly religious content.
In light of the CSM's motto, its coverage of national and international news is not as sensationalized as coverage by most other media sources. And the editors are clearly conscientious as they pick and choose the angles they use to cover stories. I like the compassionate edge, and the optimism that's expressed in the paper. I also like the fact that the paper is less isolationist than many U.S. media sources, and that it picks up on stories that aren't always given as much attention elsewhere. And lastly, I like the fact that it's available in print and non-print form, which lets me read the paper without wasting a lot of paper resources.
