The Rocky Mount Telegram lost a valued friend and influence this week when former publisher Mark Wilson lost his 10-year battle with brain cancer.

Wilson began serving as the publisher of the Rocky Mount Telegram in 2013 and continued in that role until he retired in 2018 at the age of 67. However, his contribution to the newspaper business spanned 41 years.
