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 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 reading and the lecture are both about the television appearances of professors. The author of the reading feels that appearances benefit the professors themselves as well as to their universities and the general public. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. He is of the opinion that Television appearance will harm the reputation of Professors.
To begin with, the author argues that, by appearing in the Television program,professors acquire reputations in their authorities' field. The article mentions that when professor appears on TV, thousands of people outside the academic community become aware of the professor's ideas; howbeit, this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer; he claims that such appearances harm the professor's reputation. He says that the academic filed thinks that such professors are not serious as well also not educated in their field.
Secondly, the author argues that universities are also benefited from such appearance. In the article, it is said that the universities receive positive publicity when their professors appear on tv. Nevertheless, the lecturer is of the opinion that such appearance harms the reputation of professors as well as their universities. These professors are not invited to the academic conference. He feels that such appearance will consume a lot of times of professors related to how to look and what to say in front of the audience that they did not get the time to focus on research.
Finally, The author posits that such appearances benefit the public gain; he believes that when professors appear on TV, viewers have a chance to learn from experts. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that Tv broadcasters are not interested in providing in-depth knowledge of academic prompt to the general public. He thinks that TV broadcasters only show the prompt of academics and not the analysis of said promptly.
