Regarding Yuri Tomikawa's Oct. 16 Zeit Gist article, "The faces behind the numbers: A day feeding Tokyo's hungry": Thank you for bringing this story to the hearts of readers. I had nearly given up on the promise of "news without fear or favor." Hopefully the article will foster change that leads to action.
Japan is not only about politics and money. A human tragedy is lived every day, and I hope this newspaper continues printing the social truth and reminding us of our human responsibility. Good job, Yuri. Some of our Finnish journalists, who fear and favor too much, could learn from The Japan Times.
