Newspapers made news in Link last week.
We told you how publishers are turning to the Postal Service, aiming to take advantage of the organization’s ability to deliver to every address in the nation.
“The Postal Service is proud to provide newspaper delivery in communities across the United States. We work closely with publishers to provide a dependable, cost-effective service that benefits their readers,” said Steve Monteith, the organization’s chief customer and marketing officer.
Link also told you about a series of virtual seminars on the Postal Service Health Benefits Program, a new all-employee video that shows the importance of ethical behavior in the workplace and plans for this year’s USPS National Dog Bite Awareness Campaign.
We also went “On the Job” with Shawana Holliday-Wood, a Washington, DC, human resources generalist principal, and introduced you to “Heroes” such as John Kooyenga, a Clifton, IL, rural carrier who rescued a man who fell outside his home and was stranded on a bitterly cold day.
A local newspaper published a story about the rescue — much to the surprise of Kooyenga’s co-workers.
“John is very modest and had not mentioned his heroic actions that day,” said local Postmaster Pamela Schubbe. “We were all a bit caught off guard but not surprised once we realized it was John.”
