Greg Krikorian
Staff Writer
The Los Angeles Times

Greg Krikorian is a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times, where he covers counterterrorism. He joined the newspaper in 1990 as a general assignment reporter, moving on to government, politics and criminal justice before assuming his current assignment after the terrorist attacks of September 2001. He participated in the newspaper's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and 1994 Northridge earthquake. In 1999, he and a colleague won the newspaper's award for Investigative Reporting for a series exposing the state's problem-plagued system for collecting child support. The series was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in Public Service and was a finalist in that category for the Associated Press Managing Editor's Award. The following year, the reporters were named Print Journalists of the Year by the Los Angeles Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Before joining the Times, Krikorian worked two years as a reporter for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner where his assignments included the 1988 Presidential Campaign. He previously worked at the San Diego Union, Copley News Service and the Daily Breeze in Torrance, CA. He is a 1974 Graduate of Pepperdine University and has taught journalism at USC and UCLA.
