For media inquiries, contact Watters’ publicist Irena.Briganti@fox.com. Irena Briganti oversees all media and press relations for various Fox pundits (Watters included).

- Usually, publicists only respond if you have a media outlet they’re interested in. If you don’t receive a reply within about 4 weeks, send a follow-up. If you still don’t get a reply, respectfully take this as a no.
- Don’t take it personally if you don’t get a reply. PR has a lot of moving parts, most of which have nothing to do with the quality of your question or coverage.
