To Whom It May Concern,

This e-mail is regarding about a name error included in your news article, titled, “Japanese Fishing Vessel, S Korean Trawler Collide in Sea of Japan - Coast Guards ”.  The expression ““ Sea of Japan” is the major concern.

My name is Nahyun Kim. I work as an active member of the Dokdo Cyber Press, a non-governmental and voluntary organization that is established to provide correct information about Korea to the international community, including textbook publishers.

The body of water lying between the Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago is described incorrectly in the title. We hope you appreciate the importance of transcending historical bias and provide accurate information about the East Asia region. The body of water between Korea and Japan should be described as the “East Sea” or at least with the simultaneous use of both names; “East Sea/Sea of Japan” like the following e- map.

As a fine source for the online information, I hope you will be able to make appropriate corrections on your library web database. I look forward to your cooperation.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

With Kindest Regards,
