Biography
Four months before news broke of a global pandemic, Mardi Link returned to the newsroom of a daily newspaper, after thirty years away. She’d raised three sons, — mostly alone —wrote five books — mostly alone — and was looking forward to being part of a team, and of combatting the false idea of reporters as the “enemy of the people.” She wanted to work as part of a team in pursuit of a common good: Informing residents about their community and their government. Since then, she’s covered the Antrim County election lawsuit, the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and failures in the state’ guardianship system, among other stores. Mardi’s reporting at the Traverse City Record-Eagle has won awards from the Associated Press editors and was finalist for Scripps Howard First Amendment Award.
Mardi was born in Detroit, undergrad from Michigan State, master’s degree from Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina. She lives in Traverse City, is married, and has two dogs (Olive, a corgi and Gretchen, a German Shepard).
