Portuguese journalist José Alberto Carvalho, a presenter on TV channel TVI, now works every other week so he can devote more time to his family and other projects. He told Vidas CM that the channel had agreed to this arrangement, alternating two weeks of work with periods devoted to his personal activities.

The birth of his first grandson, Tomás, in February contributed to this change of pace. Carvalho also wants to spend more time supporting his 90-year-old mother, who is almost blind, since his father died about a year and a half ago. The journalist, who has had a 36-year career, said he wanted to be more present for her.
