Ms. McCammond added that she was committed to amplifying the voices of Asian-American and Pacific Islander women in the publication.
Ms. McCammond was in the headlines recently for her relationship with a White House deputy press secretary, T.J. Ducklo.
The couple became involved while Mr. Ducklo was the press secretary for Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s presidential campaign and Ms. McCammond was covering the campaign for Axios.
Mr. Ducklo resigned from the White House in February after threatening a Politico reporter who was working on a story about the relationship.
