About

Ashley Moss is a multi-platform journalist who thrives on making complex topics easy to understand for all audiences. Her storytelling zeroes in on breaking news and issues around public safety, severe weather and daily investigations. 

Previously, Ashley covered breaking news across Dallas-Fort Worth and was also lead nightside reporter and fill-in anchor in Oklahoma City. She covered the impact of the 2024 CrowdStrike global outage across North Texas and quickly sourced live interviews with an aviation consultant to as Fort Worth based American Airlines was responding to the 2025 Potomac River mid-air collision. 

She covered several major stories during her time at KFOR, the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City, including major tornado outbreaks across Oklahoma, the murder of young Athena Brownfield; and the plight of the three remaining survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre to push for reparations. She also regularly reported on issues surrounding incarceration at the local, state and federal level.

A regular presence reporting at the Oklahoma State Capitol led to a months-long investigation into chronic failures with the state’s public health lab. Her coverage exposed repeated, abnormal results in routine testing for newborns and prompted lawmakers to take a closer look at the lab’s funding sources and what its programs were doing. Some of her most impactful stories were produced as part of the United Voice series, a franchise that fostered pointed dialogue about race and culture. During her time at KFOR she was honored with several Oklahoma SPJ awards for her work. 

Her work has been syndicated in The Dallas Morning News, Yahoo News, Free Republic, and more.  In 2024, she was a National Press Foundation N.S. Bienstock Fellow.

Ashley pivoted to news at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, after holding multiple roles across consulting, communication, and nonprofit administration. Ashley started a second chance career as a print and digital reporter for Texas Metro News, also filing stories for The Dallas Morning News. In these roles, she prioritized the impact of the pandemic on Dallas communities, in addition to reporting on local and state politics for the 2020 election season.

Ashley grew up in a Virginia suburb outside of Washington, D.C., and graduated with honors from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. She also holds a master's degree in broadcast and digital journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
