New York, NY, November 2, 2015 (Newswire.com) - International Business Times, a digital global news publication, today announced that award-winning journalist, Carter Dougherty, has joined the newsroom as Senior International Economics Writer. He will be based in Washington, D.C. 

In his new role, Dougherty will cover international economics and relevant policy-making institutions including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, US Treasury, Federal Reserve and US Trade Representative.
