CBS news correspondent Mark Nolar died for a long time at the age of 73.
According to a close friend, he died in Washington, DC. The cause of death was not revealed, but he was suffering from diabetes and was in sick health.
Was nolar, it was just to put a legend. For decades, everyone in the White House Press Corps knew him as a historian and statistician of the informal president.
His frustration over the lack of a central database of daily presidential works inspired him to carry a heavy burden of careful records of every President’s Act, movement and pronunciation, which was filled with single-hand to fill a huge void in American history.
As he once said: “I keep a daily log of everything made by the President. I keep a list of speeches. I keep a list of travel – abroad, domestic journey. A list of outings. A list of outings. A list of golf. A golf.

CBS News President and Executive Editor Tom Sibrovski said, “Mark Nolar was a generation’s most difficult work and the most vast white house reporter.” “Everyone in America knew their specific voice and eight in the President’s administration.”
As a CBS radio correspondent, Nolar worked for a very long time without this self-desperate difficulty. To keep his encyclopedia record updated, he worked late in the evening almost every day, after going to the White House for a long time after going to the house of most of his colleagues.
And what did nolar do with the gold mine earned by this hard work of statistics and numbers? In the most competitive world of journalism, you may think that it will deposit it for its use. But no one. This remarkably generous man shared it with someone, who asked – to fill the interval in the records of reporters, historians, even the White House on the deadline. He believed that the public had the right to know.
Born on 20 February 1952 in Brooklyn, New York, he knew from an early age that he wanted to become a reporter. After graduating from the University of New York, he started his career as an intern and copy boy in Wnew Radio in New York, even weekend reporter. In 1975, he became a reporter in the Associated Press Radio Network, where he stayed for 13 years.
In 1988, Nolar’s career took an unexpected turn. He and CBS news producer Susan Zirinski spoke about his career, covering the visit to Helsinki and Moscow with the then secretary of the state George Shults. He told him that CBS News Washington Bureau was looking for a new assignment editor.
“Why not dip?” He asked him. So he did it.
But after a few years, “regret, he was sad,” Zirinsky misses. He did not enjoy sending other people out to cover the news. He wanted to cover the news. So CBS News offered Nolar’s status of the White House correspondent for CBS radio – his dream job, and a position in which he went to win many prestigious journalism awards.
In his role, Nolar covered the final year of President George HW Bush’s term, both President Bill Clinton, George W. For the first term of Bush, Barack Obama and President Trump. He left CBS in 2020.
In the last decade of Nolar’s time in CBS News, his career took another amazing turn. His voice had failed to fail, making it impossible for him to be a full -time radio reporter. So nolar strengthened himself. Twitter was in its early years and was quickly becoming a sensation, so Nolar Twitter (now X) jumped on the train. He started posting daily several times, the news of the White House, sharing his famous facts and figures, and his entertaining vitamism with an audience that increased to 300,000 followers.
Former CBS News White House reporters worked with Nolar, they also offered their heartfelt praise:
Nora O’Donel, senior CBS News correspondent, said, “Mark Nolar was only the best, a famous White House journalist who was a pleasure to be around.” “His work was his life. He was kind, funny and always kind in sharing his encyclopedia knowledge of the presidential presidential. His CBS family liked him, and we would miss our friend.”
“Mark Nolar defined what it means to cover the chronicle and the White House,” said Major Garat, the correspondent of the Chief White House. “Mark added value, where other people could never have included-Mark was the most dedicated, tanmay and clear-hearted journalists who I have ever respected to know. As long as I live, I will count among the biggest blessings of my life that I was able to work with them.”
Jim Axlroad, the chief investigation correspondent for CBS News, said, “Mark Nolor’s White House and Knowledge of Presidency were impressive – it had only crossed his generosity to many of his friends and colleagues … and he always responded to mercy, class and help to help.”
Mark was not just a respected colleague, he was a dear friend. He helped me a lot with his knowledge of the White House, but the mark I will always remember is, kind, funny, funny, friend with whom I spent many hours arguing about one of my favorite subjects: which James Bond films, and actor, were the best and the worst.
