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."

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
