NewsGuild Local 38010 2026 Executive Board
Acting President: Max Marin
max.marin.pa@gmail.com
I helped start a union with my former colleagues at WHYY and I’ve been a Guild steward since joining The Inquirer in 2021. I love being a reporter, and I know that a strong union is key to protecting our jobs – whether it be from industry economics or the uncharted waters of Al.
1st Vice President: Michaelle Bond
mellebond@gmail.com
I’m a reporter who’s been at The Inquirer for 12 years and currently writes about real estate and housing issues. As we’ve gone through furloughs, layoffs, restructurings, and buyouts, I’ve seen how important the Guild’s work is and the strength of solidarity. In 2024, I joined the executive board as one of the vice presidents.
2nd Vice President: Ellie Rushing
erushing@rollins.edu
I came to The Inquirer as a young intern six years ago and fought my way onto staff, where I am a criminal justice reporter. From day one, I was inspired by the potential of The Inquirer, and that holds true today – but there’s a lot of progress to be made. I’d be honored to join the leadership to help Inquirer is a place where we can all build lasting careers, support one another, and thrive together.
