Chris Baker, Link’s longest-serving managing editor, will leave the Postal Service on Friday, Jan. 9.
Baker joined USPS as a speechwriter in 2012 and became Link’s managing editor two years later. During his tenure, he expanded the news website’s original reporting and oversaw a change that allowed employees without postal computer access to read Link on personal devices.
In 2024, Baker led a Link redesign that included the introduction of features such as the “History,” “Off the Clock” and “People” columns.
Last year, Link received an award of excellence in the Communicator Awards, organized by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, a professional development group in the media sector.
Ashley Holmes Mullenix, the Postal Service’s field communications liaison, will serve as Link’s acting managing editor.
