Anything that humanises people on TV is fine with me. Heck, I’ve gotten some design inspiration from some people’s rooms.
I do wonder how some of the professional on-air talent handles things re: makeup. I recall an anchor from one newsroom I worked in who, without the studio’s makeup artist’s help, looked like a 12-year-old girl even in ordinary make-up. There was another reporter who had severe acne scars and tried to get made-up in studio before going out to cover his stories. Both were fine journalists, but video cameras (NTSC pro in those days, hi-def consumer now) are unforgiving and can do a number on the talent’s ego. If the circumstances of the pandemic help undermine the plastic-fantastic TV news aesthetic, though, I’m all for it
