About

Sarah Parvini is an award-winning journalist covering the video game industry. She most recently reported on the business and culture of video games for the Los Angeles Times, a beat that she pitched and created from the ground level.

She worked for the Times for nearly a decade, covering topics ranging from breaking news to politics and immigration. Sarah was also a beat reporter writing about California’s diverse communities with a focus on the state’s shifting demographics. She has reported from different corners of the country and world, including for stories on reproductive rights in Argentina and religious tensions in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

She was part of the Times team that won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, as well as a member of the investigative unit that uncovered scandals at USC’s medical school. That thread of reporting led to stories about an abusive gynecologist at USC, which earned the Times another Pulitzer.

The daughter of Iranian immigrants, she speaks fluent Persian and conversational Spanish.

When she isn’t writing, you can find Sarah with her nose in a book (probably lost in the realms of a fantasy novel).
