Teleworking for journalists has all kinds of unintended consequences. Including that of revealing intimacy without having really chosen it. This is what happened to an American journalist from Good Morning America , the morning of the American chain ABC.
Will Reeve had put on a gray jacket, all that is more "professional", and his subject did not really lend itself to jokes: he explained that some pharmacies used drones to deliver drugs. But he probably thought his legs would be hidden by an information banner. The journalist then had enough self-mockery to make fun of himself:
I have ARRIVED *
* in the most hilariously mortifying way possible https://t.co/2NQ85QEJVr

Many internet users thanked him for this slice of laughter, some calling him a "national hero". His colleague George Stephanopoulos added, saying that he was not wearing pants that day either, but that his camera "was just a little higher":
Don't worry @ReeveWill ... @GStephanopoulos says he was wearing shorts too 😂 pic.twitter.com/Bl2S3ywrNT
- Good Morning America (@GMA) April 29, 2020As with politicians, telework changes journalistic practices and confinement sometimes penetrates the privacy of journalists. We have also seen many TV hosts posing in front of libraries, and the spectators of the 13h TF1 have a breathtaking view of the garden of Jean-Pierre Pernaut. A journalist discovered in his indoor work clothes, it had to happen one day!
