McCammond was announced last week as the new top editor at Teen Vogue, a publication that grew its political coverage in the Donald Trump era with a young, liberal tilt. On Monday, the Teen Vogue staff gathered for a virtual meeting with McCammond, where staff members shared their concerns. “You’ve seen some offensive, idiotic tweets from when I was a teenager that perpetuated harmful and racist stereotypes about Asian Americans,” she wrote. By 26, he was named chief content officer and the successor to its former editor in chief Elaine Welteroth. In June, Bon Appétit magazine’s top editor, Adam Rapoport, resigned after old images appeared to show him in a racist costume.
