Christa Case Bryant

Editor, The Christian Science Monitor

Christa Case Bryant is the new editor of The Christian Science Monitor, and is the second woman to hold the position since the paper’s founding in 1908. She brings a combination of national and international reporting experience gained over two decades since she started as an intern at the paper.

As senior Congressional correspondent, Christa won the National Press Foundation’s 2022 Everett McKinley Dirksen award for distinguished reporting on Congress and the 2023 Sigma Delta Chi award for Washington Correspondence. Her previous experience as Heartland correspondent, Politics editor, and Jerusalem bureau chief all informed how she reported on a polarized Congress. Her first week on the job, she was in the Senate press gallery when rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Ms. Bryant was a 2015-16 Nieman journalism fellow at Harvard and holds an M.A. in international relations from The Fletcher School at Tufts University.
