Career
Vinod K. Jose started as a city reporter with the Indian Express in New Delhi in 2001. He has worked as a foreign correspondent in South Asia for the American public radio network, Pacifica Radio, from 2002 to 2007. Jose was also the founding editor of Free Press, a long-form investigative magazine published between 2003 and 2006 in the Malayalam language. At 23, Jose became one of the youngest editor-in-chiefs of any current affairs registered magazine in India when he started Free Press (Office of the Registrar of Newspapers for India). In 2009, Jose was hired by Delhi Press to re-launch the company's 70-year-old title The Caravan, which had been discontinued in 1988.
In defense of narrative journalism, The Caravan ads a long-term perspective that it says other magazines are not providing. Jose told The Hindu, "Magazines are being unable to take advantage of the seven day cycle. After watching 200 hours of results, news and analysis of UP elections, what is it that I gain by having five magazines on my desk at the end of the week? Editorial leadership is not being able to address this core issue, and advertisers can see it."

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
