Angela Misri is an assistant professor in TMU’s School of Journalism, the GenAI Teaching Fellow for TMU, and a co-director of the Local News Research Project. Her research investigates how technological change transforms journalistic authority, ethics, and public trust by examining the ethics of using AI to create journalism, the governance of AI within newsroom workflows, and the evolving dynamics of authorship and credibility in AI-mediated podcasting and local-news production.
She has presented at several conferences, including the Trent SoTL Symposium (2026), the Gen AI & Creative Practices conference (2025), the Canadian Communications Association conference (2025, 2024), ReImagining Political Journalism (2024), JRP conference (2023) and the Unstable Diffusions conference (2023). Her academic work has been published in Digital Journalism, Facts & Frictions and AI & Society.
Misri runs the newsroom for the student masthead in the School of Journalism at TMU — teaching the next generation how to report on their communities. She writes for many different media groups, including The Globe and Mail, CBC, The Walrus, Global TV, and is the author of seven fiction novels.
