"We are thrilled to welcome Mara to the team as we continue to set a new standard of inclusivity for journalism that especially resonates with the Black communities," said Monique Chenault, President of REVOLT News, Specials & Documentary. "Mara's in-depth reporting style will further propel our news division as a critical vessel for sharing stories and assessing realities that most impact Black people in America and throughout the African diaspora."

Four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Campo will serve as both the Global News Anchor of REVOLT Black News Weekly and as the Managing Editor of the news division. She will lead the multimedia company's investigative journalism sector as it continues to confront the most pressing issues concerning social justice, economic advancement, public safety, health, wellness, and education. With over 15 years of experience covering some of the most significant news stories, Campo will authentically report on crucial conversations and pertinent topics.

"It is an honor to join REVOLT Black News, which has served as a trusted resource uncovering important issues most relevant to Black viewers," said Campo. "I look forward to continuing the work of raising awareness and starting crucial conversations for our community."
