The Guardian has offered its journalists free counseling and mental health support to help them process Donald Trump’s win in the US election, according to an internal email seen by Guido Fawkes, a British political gossip blog.
Written by editor-in-chief Katharine Viner, the email was sent to the liberal paper’s employees on Wednesday, Guido Fawkes claimed.
“I know the result has been very upsetting for many colleagues,” Viner wrote. “Our US teams in particular have covered the election with brilliant reporting…They will be most directly affected by the result. If you’re not in the US, do contact your American colleagues to offer your support.”
