Sarah Parvini covers the video game industry for the Los Angeles Times. A lifelong gamer who grew up playing RPGs, she reports on the importance of the culture and business of video games in California. She previously covered the state's diverse communities, with a focus on the state’s shifting demographics. She was part of the 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. She is one of the (probably) few people left who enjoys turn-based combat.
