Bergman has written for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, and Newsweek in the United States, and for The Times, The Guardian, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and the Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Europe. He is also interviewed frequently by the media in the United States and Europe, and his work is often quoted in Middle Eastern newspapers in Arabic and Persian.

A translation of his third book, The Secret War with Iran, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2008. The book appeared in the Boston Globe’s recommended reading list for summer 2009.

He is a regular co-anchor of a daytime news and current affairs magazine on Israeli TV. He often appears on major U.S. broadcasting networks and the BBC, and is a frequent guest on Al-Jazeera.
