Sarah Parvini was a games reporter at the LA Times until just a few months ago, having been among those who were hit by a staggering round of layoffs at the paper earlier this year. In fact, the publication is meant to have shed around 20% of its newsroom in one fell swoop. Journalism is in a rough state, folks.
In this episode you'll hear guest host Nicole Carpenter talk with Sarah about what it's like reporting on the games industry for such an established publication and how she managed to approach her stories through the lens of California and Los Angeles in order to appeal to a regional audience.
"So, the video game industry layoffs, that's not something that is unique to California, but given the nature of California's importance to the video game industry it's something that I felt like we should be covering. And, it wasn't hard to find companies, unfortunately, that had laid people off here in California. And it's only getting easier everyday, right?"
