Another editorial expert joins the Rolling Stone Philippines lineup.
Christian San Jose steps in as Managing Editor of Rolling Stone Philippines, leading the charge in shaping the brand’s narrative by bringing stories to life. San Jose’s career includes leadership tenure in editorial. He has played a crucial role in diversifying platforms, managing content, and creating strategies at Nolisoli.ph.
“My years in niche publication taught me about the payoff of beginning with small questions to get to the big ideas,” he says. “With Rolling Stone Philippines, I want to pursue stories that break out of the mindset that big wins can only come out of big bets.”
Jonty Cruz, Rolling Stone Philippines’ Chief of Editorial Content says on San Jose’s appointment: “It’s almost impossible to find a Christian San Jose these days. From his exceptional writing to his dedication to the creative process, our whole editorial team is in good hands with a managing editor as committed and as talented as Christian.”
As Managing Editor, San Jose aims to pursue stories that resonate with readers, approaching big ideas with curiosity and pushing authentic, thought-provoking journalism that speaks to the pulse of the times. “Rolling Stone reads and feels like a story you could have lived yourself. Like arriving at the truth unencumbered by noise. It’s beyond music. It’s everything music touches upon: culture and politics, chief among them,” he explains.
With this perspective, San Jose’s vision for Rolling Stone Philippines is clear: “Our goal is for Rolling Stone Philippines to be the home of exceptional journalism and visual storytelling,” he says, “or whatever’s more real, palpable, and immediately arresting.”
San Jose’s commitment to thoughtful, engaging journalism promises an exciting future for Rolling Stone Philippines, ensuring it remains a sounding board for the times and a platform that not only informs but also inspires.
