A personal note: Void left by Mark Binker's untimely passing
Monday, May 1, 2017 -- Mark Binker's untimely passing is truly a blow to the current state of government and political journalism in North Carolina. As significantly, it leaves its future less certain.
Posted — Updated- Disappointed that my company, Capitol Broadcasting’s WRAL would be losing an inquisitive and dedicated journalist.
- Glad for The Insider and the future of government and political journalism in North Carolina.
I hope that Mark’s wife Marla and sons can find strength, amid the challenges of the coming days, in the best family memories and that Mark was not just very good at what he did, but widely respected for it.

Those who may wish to offer their thoughts and prayers, can do so personally. A condolence book has been set up in the Press Room at the Legislative Building in Raleigh.
