Tony Berlin: A Deep Dive Into His Journalism and Media Career

Tony Berlin is best known to many people as the husband of Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner. But before he was a familiar name in her story, he spent around 15 years in television news. He then built his own media relations company, which he still runs. This article looks at what’s reliably known about his journalism career, his move into public relations and his family life.

Journalism Career: From Local News to WCCO-TV

Berlin’s career was built in local television news, where he worked as a reporter, anchor and producer for roughly 15 years. His best-documented role is at WCCO-TV, the CBS-owned station serving Minneapolis–St. Paul. Profiles based on his professional history place him there as a reporter and anchor from about 1998 to 2005, and Harris Faulkner’s own biography describes him as a former WCCO-TV reporter.

Minneapolis was also where his personal and professional worlds crossed. At the time, Faulkner was a main evening anchor at KSTP-TV, a competing station in the same market.

After the couple moved east in 2005, he continued working in television news with CBS stations in New York before leaving journalism for public relations.

Berlin’s Transition to Public Relations: A New Chapter

In 2011, Berlin founded his own company, Berlin Media Relations (BMR), and he leads it as founder and CEO. The move made practical use of everything he’d learned in newsrooms: what makes a story, how producers and editors decide what to cover, and how to pitch them.

BMR focuses on securing national, regional and local media placements and building brand awareness for its clients, with an emphasis on television, radio, print and online coverage. His years on the other side of the pitch, and his relationships with members of the press, give the firm a clear selling point.

How Tony Berlin and Harris Faulkner Met

Berlin and Faulkner met while both were working in Minneapolis television news, he at WCCO-TV and she at rival station KSTP-TV. They married in 2003.

Faulkner left KSTP in 2004 and joined Fox News in 2005, which brought the family to the New York area. Her career has continued to grow since then. She has co-hosted Outnumbered since 2014, anchored The Faulkner Focus since 2021, and in 2025 hosted America’s Most Wanted: Missing Persons.

Personal Life: Family and Home

A 2013 magazine profile gave the girls’ ages as six and three, which is where those birth-year estimates come from. The family lives in Edgewater, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Berlin keeps a much lower public profile than his wife.

Conclusion

Tony Berlin’s path runs from local TV reporting, most notably at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis, to running his own PR firm, Berlin Media Relations, since 2011. Along the way he married Harris Faulkner, one of Fox News’s most recognisable anchors, and the couple are raising their two daughters in New Jersey. It’s a career built on understanding how news works from the inside and putting that knowledge to work for clients.
