Angelo Paura

I am the U.S. correspondent for Il Messaggero, one of Italy’s leading daily newspapers, where I report on politics, finance, the economy, and the intersection of media, technology, AI and power.

Previously, I served as Editorial Director at Blasting News, leading initiatives in newsroom innovation, fact-checking and AI for journalism. During my time at Blasting News, we secured two EU-funded grants — Fake News Sicily and Eunomia — for which I served as the editorial lead.

I also worked as an analyst and editor at NewsGuard, evaluating the reliability of news outlets worldwide, and collaborated with the NYU Media Lab at NYU to develop and produce a newsletter on AI and local news.

My reporting and analysis have appeared in Politico Europe, BBC World Service, MediaShift, ProPublica, Motherboard, the International Center for Journalists, the Tow-Knight Center, BuzzFeed, Il Sole 24 Ore, Il Corriere della Sera and Mediaset - Tgcom24, among others.

I hold a Master’s degree in Engagement Journalism from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, New York. I am a U.S. and Italian citizen. I’m based in New York.
