Start showing some interest in social issues. The future depends on you guys, the young people. You’ve at least got to read the paper. Not a single young person nowadays reads the paper. We’ve got smartphones. → Now then, Mr. Kinoshita. Tell us why you decided to apply for a job at Touto News. Until now, I wasn’t at all interested in newspapers or politics. That’s because I thought I alone couldn’t possibly change anything. Even now, I still pretty much believe that. Then why did you apply for a job with us? I am the nephew of the man who killed himself over the Eishin Academy affair that your journalist, Ms. Matsuda, is covering. Ms. Matsuda is still vigorously pursuing my uncle’s story even though society is trying to forget it. After seeing how Ms. Matsuda strives to give a voice to the voiceless no matter how difficult it may be, I became interested in becoming a journalist. Thanks to her, my aunt is gradually returning to normal. If I can also be of service to someone in the way that she has been, I’d like to do this kind of work. I would like to give a clear voice to those people in society who are oppressed and downtrodden. That is why I applied to work at your company.
