Ashley Moss thrives on telling meaningful stories with passion and purpose.
Previously, Ashley was an overnight breaking news journalist in North Texas where she used interactive tools to tell some of the most important stories of the day - unscripted and with context. Her in-the-moment reporting emphasized public awareness with an emphasis on sharing the most critical information, in real-time.
Ashley was also a reporter and fill-in anchor in Oklahoma City, where she was recognized with several awards for her work, as well as her dynamic presentation, engaging and accurate delivery.
Ashley covered several major stories for the station, including: the aftermath of 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 race.
Ashley pivoted to news at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, after holding multiple roles across consulting, marketing and communication, and non-profit administration.
Ashley’s second chance career started at Texas Metro News, a Black Press-affiliated newspaper, also filing stories for The Dallas Morning News. In these roles, she prioritized the impact of the pandemic on communities of color, 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 from Syracuse University.
FUN FACT! Ashley appears as a reporter in "Twisters", the 2024 sequel to the 1996 hit movie.
