The Department of Defense Office of Public Affairs has established a new e-mail address dedicated to requests for officials to appear on media platforms with a video or audio element, including television interviews, podcasts, livestreams, online programs, and radio. DOD officials who are available for interview requests include Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell, Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson, and more.
If you are a host, talent booker, or producer whose program that fits this description, please send your request to our new inbox at: osd.pentagon.pa.mbx.bookings@mail.mil
The Department will continue to accept traditional press requests through our Defense Press Operations office in the Pentagon. Media with queries during our normal business hours — 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday - Friday (Eastern Time Zone) — should call 703-697- 5131 or email osd.pa.dutyofficer@mail.mil.
