ABOUT ASHLEY

Ashley Moss specializes in breaking news, enterprise and investigative reporting. She thrives on connecting communities and telling meaningful stories with transparency, passion and purpose.

Previously, Ashley covered breaking news across Dallas-Fort Worth and was also lead nightside reporter and fill-in anchor in Oklahoma City. During her time with CBS News Texas, Ashley was an overnight breaking news journalist reporting live news events as they happened. She covered the impact of the 2024 CrowdStrike global outage across North Texas and quickly sourced live interviews with an aviation litigation consultant to break down how Fort Worth based American Airlines was responding to the 2025 Potomac River mid-air collision. She also wrote, produced, and reported several community stories for the station.

Ashley earned multiple awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and a RTDNA award for her community and accountability reporting at KFOR, the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City.

At KFOR she covered several major stories, including: the Seminole tornado in 2022 and the April 2023 tornado outbreak in central Oklahoma; the murder of Athena Brownfield; and the plight of the three remaining survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre to push for reparations. She also regularly reported on news and issues related to public safety and 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 and healthy dialogue about communities. 

A desire to cover important events as they happen led Ashley to pivot to news at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, after holding multiple roles across consulting, marketing and communication, and nonprofit administration.

Ashley’s second chance career started at 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.
