Professors are normally found in university classrooms, offices, and libraries doing research and lecturing to their students. More and more, however, they also appear as guests on television news programs, giving expert commentary on the latest events in the world. These television appearances are of great benefit to the professors themselves as well as to their universities and the general public. Professors benefit from appearing on television because by doing so they acquire reputations as authorities in their academic fields among a much wider audience than they have on campus. If a professor publishes views in an academic journal, only other scholars will learn about and appreciate those views. But when a professor appears on TV, thousands of people outside the narrow academic community become aware of the professor's ideas. So when professors share their ideas with a television audience, the professors' importance as scholars is enhanced. Universities also benefit from such appearances. The universities receive positive publicity when their professors appear on TV. When people see a knowledgeable faculty member of a university on television, they think more highly of that university. That then leads to an improved reputation for the university. And that improved reputation in turn leads to more donations for the university and more applications from potential students. Finally, the public gains from professors' appearing on television. Most television viewers normally have no contact with university professors. When professors appear on television, viewers have a chance to learn from experts and to be exposed to views they might otherwise never hear about. Television is generally a medium for commentary that tends to be superficial, not deep or thoughtful. From professors on television, by contrast, viewers get a taste of real expertise and insight.
The lecturer disagrees with the reading stated. The reading states that professors gain reputation from TV appearances. And that if they didn't appear on TV, their views would only be viewed by academic scholars and not by the general public. It's also stated by the reading that universities also gain reputation from the professors by appearing on TV, as TV programmes would state the professors' universities. Which would help the universities to attract students and donations. Another reason stated by the reading is that the viewers which are the general public would get a chance to learn materials that they might not have heard about from experts. Giving the viewers the perception that the materials are of high quality.
The lecturer, however, disagrees with this. Firstly, she stated that the materials given by the more TV-centric professors aren't always of high quality. And that they won't be viewed upon as serious by their fellow academic peers. They are also usually not invited to important academic conferences, and that they will have a hard time trying to earn money when they try to sell their academic books.
Secondly, the time that the professors would spend on trying to figure out what to present, traveling, and even to put makeup before the programmes can take ages. The time used by all that can be put into doing research, lectures and academic conferences.
Lastly, TV networks don't care about the deep understanding of the materials. They just want academic titles and to inflict information that may not have a deep grasp into the general public. And that the TV-centric professors would just produce the same results as reporters who did a little bit of research before presenting information.
