Emmy Award winning television movie reviewer and entertainment reporter Norman Mark was a pioneer multi-media journalist who friends recall as an upbeat, boundlessly positive and incredibly smart gentleman.
He died Monday at a hospital in Rancho Mirage, Calif., surrounded by his family, from complications of multiple myeloma. Friends say Mr. Mark continued to live an amazingly energetic life after his diagnosis three years ago, and had traveled to wineries on six continents and to a series of film festivals during that time.
Mr. Mark, 72, grew up in the Chatham Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, the son of an Eastern European Jewish mother and a second-generation Chicagoan father. He was graduated from Hirsch High School and Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. After he graduated from Medill in 1961, he started his career as the sole DJ and newsman anchoring the entire six-hour shift on radio station WHAP-AM in Hopewell, Va.
Mr. Mark quickly made a name for himself at bigger radio stations, and quintupled the ratings at WCKY-AM in Cincinnati in less than a year on the air.
