Reading and lecture are debating whether or not appearances on televisions of professors offer advantages for multiple parts. The writer states that this is beneficial for professors, for universities and for public, providing three reasons of support. The lecturer however casts doubts on the claims made by the writer, affirming that these arguments are inaccurate when compared with reality.
First, professors are negatively affected when appearing on television because they gain a reputation of being entertainer, and not serious academicians. Furthermore, they might not be invited to conferences anymore. In addition to this, their chances to receive funds for researches decrease considerably, because they are not perceived as being professionals. This is a strong counter point against the passage.
Second, these activities take a lot of time since the professors have to prepare themselves for appearing in front of camera. They have to do their presentations, rehearsals, sometimes they have to travel. Because of this, their time for participating in students discussion, university businesses, conferences is limited, and as a consequence the universities practices are negatively influenced. This gainsays the writer's point of view.
Third, public does not gain anything from these shows, because the professors do not offer in-depth details in their lectures. The passages asserts that it is a unique experience for numerous people to learn how academic system works. Anyway, the lecturer refutes this, arguing that the professors provide only a general view over a topic. Moreover, a good reporter, who previously has made some researches about a topic, can easily present the same content as the professors'. Thus, since the professors does not delivers a high level intellectual content, public does not benefit from them.
