서론 |
Dear Ms.Kim,
I am a
regular subscriber to your website and have been a big fan NBC news website for
the past few years. On September 21, 2020, I was reading thought the digital articles
in your archives and happened upon an article about the missile launched from
North Korea, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/north-korea-launches-projectiles-sea-japan-n1171416
. I was deeply distressed to find that you have chosen to name
designate the East Seas as only ‘Sea of Japan’ throughout the article despite
the fact that the article was written by a correspondent in Korea. It seems
extremely inappropriate and frankly appalling, that a news organization of your
caliber would be so ill informed to blatantly use such designation with
complete lack of regard for the dispute between the Korea and Japan.

| 본론 |
Articulating the correct use of the names for
the body of water between Korea and Japan is not simply a question of naming a geographic
area but is part of a national effort by the Korean Republic to erase the
legacy of Japanese Imperialism and to redress the unfairness that has been resulted
from that period. The way African-Americans were enslaved, so was the
Korean people. Therefore, I urge you to use 'East Sea' to describe the body of
water in question or to use both Korean and Japanese designation simultaneously
(e.g. 'East Sea/Sea of Japan') in your contents and maps.
According to IHO and UNCSGN, in case of
topographical feature shared with two or more countries, yet naming differently
in their own languages, all the names in each language should be
marked. Once Korea and Japan agree on a common designation that is in
accord with the general rule of international cartography we will then follow
the agreed-on designation.

| 결론 |
I feel that NBC News, of all the news
organizations, should be sensitive to the plight of other countries. Even as
the world is ravaged by not only by Covid-19, but racial injustice and
discrimination, it is imperative that matters pertaining to international
guidelines be meet more rigorously. I ask that you contact me with changes and
look forward to visiting your site with the implemented change. You can email
me at asianomadjr@gmail.com with
your response, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Allison Cheigh |
