Michael Casey, managing editor of the Americas at Dow Jones Newswires, made the following staff announcement on Monday morning:
I am pleased to announce that Anusha Shrivastava will be the latest addition to the New York team for DJ FX Trader.
Anusha, who will cover foreign exchange markets, is no stranger to many of us in the DJ Money team. She has worked in the Newswires credit group since 2006, where she initially covered investment-grade corporate bonds before branching out into securitization and the commercial paper market, a beat that kept her busy during the financial crisis. She has also covered agency debt, high-yield bonds, leveraged loans and commercial mortgage bonds.
Before joining Dow Jones, Anusha worked at The Associated Press in New York and at the Hartford Business Journal and the Republican American in Connecticut. She started her career as an on-air reporter for a BBC World program, “India Business Report,” in New Delhi. She has written for The Times of India and The Hindustan Times.
Anusha has an M.S. in journalism from Columbia University in New York and a doctorate in international relations from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. She is currently serving her second term as vice president of the 700-strong South Asian Journalists Association.
