Full apology from journalist who wrote offensive Asbury Park Press caption [View all]
The journalist who lost his job with the Asbury Park Press after posting an offensive caption last month has offered a full apology.
Gustavo Martinez Contreras had added a caption to a photograph of an Orthodox Jewish nurse preparing to administer a COVID-19 vaccination that called her “a fucking hot nurse, a total JAP.”
Paul D’Ambrosio, the newspaper’s executive editor, said the caption was written by “a reporter who admitted that he did a ‘stupid, stupid thing,” but had not named the employee. He did say that the person, identified by the New Jersey Globe as Martinez, had been fired.
Going forward, D’Ambrosio said, “no photo and caption will be published without another staffer looking it over, regardless of the time of day.”
