About Sarah Polonsky
Senior Music Editor at Screen Rant, Sarah's love of sound and story drive the beat. A globetrotting brand whisperer and award-winning journalist, she’s built cross-cultural narratives around the world—but music has always been her true north. She launched DJ Mag North America, successfully introducing the iconic UK brand to the U.S. market. Previously, she carved a space for EDM inside the pages of VIBE, blending electronic and hip-hop culture long before it was trendy.
Industry Focus
In addition to VIBE and DJ Mag, Sarah helped launch Elektro as its founding Managing Editor, bringing a grassroots electronic music magazine to life. She drove fashion-meets-commerce strategy as Senior Editor of Christian Siriano’s eComm site, SendtheTrend.com—later acquired by QVC. Her reporting credits span Page Six, The National Enquirer, BlackBook, and more. At BettyConfidential.com, Sarah served as Senior Editor, producing nationally syndicated radio segments and award-winning digital content, earning a MIN Award and a spot on Forbes’ Top 100 Websites for Women.
Favorite Media
Sarah lives for stories where the music slaps. Purple Rain is the blueprint, 8 Mile captured the come-up, and The Harder They Fall brought the Western back with a beat. She grew up on dusty R&B loops, Dilla drums, and that Brown Sugar kind of love. Drum & bass runs in her veins—especially when hip-hop taps in (Wu-Tang knew the assignment, but The Roots made it a mission). She loves vinyl, scrolls through WhoSampled like it’s gospel, and still low-key wishes she made the Fly Girl cut on In Living Color.
