He worked as an editor on the team that won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for coverage of the 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California.

Sipchen left the Los Angeles Times in 2007 to edit the 110-year-old Sierra magazine. In 2009 he was promoted to Communications Director for the organization, overseeing a national staff of more than 60 multimedia professionals responsible for the Club's messaging, branding, advocacy journalism, social media communications, press relations and public affairs.

When he was Associate Editor of the Los Angeles Times editorial pages, he and colleague Alex Raksin won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing in 2002. The Pulitzer committee cited "their comprehensive and powerfully written editorials exploring the issues and dilemmas provoked by mentally ill people dwelling on the streets."

Sipchen also wrote about cultural issues, politics, covered a presidential campaign, and wrote a column for the Times about the magazine industry. In 1997, Sipchen loaded his wife and three children into a 26-foot motorhome and drove 22,000 miles through 46 states, including Alaska, writing twice-a-week columns about the state of the American family. In 2003, he wrote a personal essay about watching Southern California's devastating wildfires destroy his childhood home. In 2006 he created the "School Me" column and multimedia "School Me!" blog which explored education issues.

An adjunct professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles since 1997, Sipchen teaches news writing and a communications class, "Rhetorical Fault Lines," in the fall and narrative non-fiction in the spring, using a team teaching approach that has included as many as eight Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists in a calendar year.

As a reporter, Sipchen covered the 1992 Los Angeles riots that erupted in Los Angeles following the trial of police officers involved in the beating of motorist Rodney King and shared in the newspaper's Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Reporting in 1993 for that reportage. Sipchen published the first profile of Reginald Denny, the motorist whose nationally televised attack became an icon of the inchoate rage vented during the riots.

Sipchen was born in Chicago. He paid his way through college as a interagency hotshot crew firefighter and patrolman with the U.S. Forest Service. He graduated with a B.A. in 1976 from the University of California, Santa Barbara, which granted him the school's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2006.
