Corina Knoll is an American editor and journalist who is the Los Angeles bureau chief of The New York Times.[1] Before joining the New York Times in 2019,[2] she worked for more than a decade for the Los Angeles Times.
Career[edit]
At the Los Angeles Times, she was on the team that investigated corruption in the city of Bell, California, — which led to the paper's 2011 Pulitzer Prize for public service — and went on to cover trials of the city's former officials. She later contributed to the paper's coverage of the San Bernardino terror attack that won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news. As a regional reporter, she wrote features about the San Gabriel Valley and the Westside. During her courts beat, she covered high-profile criminal cases and civil disputes, including the Jackson family vs AEG and Bryan Stow vs LA Dodgers. In her current gig she is called upon to rewrite breaking news stories and also writes long-form narratives. Recently, she and two colleagues investigated sheriff's deputies whose histories of misconduct landed them on the department's top-secret Brady list. Raised in the Midwest, she is a graduate of Macalester College.
Earlier in her career, Knoll covered US Soccer for ESPN Soccernet.com, with her first article about Dax McCarty titled "McCarty pursues his passion" being published on January 19, 2006. Knoll also worked in the public relations department of the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association. She worked in sports marketing before pursuing a freelance writing career. She was soon hired by the magazine KoreAm Journal, assuming the roles of senior writer and senior editor. She was managing editor of the magazine from February 2007 to March 2008.
