Law&Crime, a leading company in legal and true crime media, is excited to welcome the distinguished tech and media expert Debasish Mishra as its newest Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

In his role as CTO, Mishra will drive the growth and modernization of Law&Crime’s infrastructure across its production, digital, and social media sectors, aiming to enhance its presence in the true crime narrative space.

Debasish Mishra, who has previously held senior positions at The WNET Group and NBC Universal, is known for his strategic expertise in tech transformation within the media and journalism industry. In 2021, he was a finalist for the Orbie Award for NY CIO of the Year. Beyond this accolade, Mishra has founded Scagility, an independent consulting firm focusing on advancing AI services and data analytics to enhance the digital prowess of newsrooms globally.

Mishra’s appointment signals a larger and continuous investment across Law&Crime’s social media platforms and digital channels in utilizing cutting-edge advancements to amplify its journalistic voice and expertise. As Law&Crime continues to grow its YouTube production unit to serve over eight million subscribers across five channels, Mishra will play a critical role in launching and delivering exciting new initiatives designed to engage Law&Crime’s ever-growing audience.

“Debasish brings a visionary approach to media technology that will help position Law&Crime at the forefront of digital innovation,” said Rachel Stockman, President of Law&Crime. “His leadership will be instrumental as we explore new tools—like AI and next-gen streaming workflows—to continue delivering compelling, accessible, and impactful journalism and premium content.”

Notably, Mishra’s first week with Law&Crime coincided with the company’s successful release of AI-generated recreations of the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. With cameras prohibited in all federal courts, Law&Crime’s innovative visual representations of the trial proceedings based on actual court transcripts from the testimony of key witnesses and investigators offer the most comprehensive media coverage of the high-profile case to date.
