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 profes- sors 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 posi- tive publicity when their professors appear on TV. When people see a knowledge- able 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 tele- vision viewers normally have no contact with university professors. When profes- sors 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 lecture states that the University Professors appearing on television has a positive effect neither for the Professor nor for the University. The lecture, in fact, claims that this practice has negative effects. This is in contradiction to what the passage asserts.
First, the lecture states that by appearing on the television, a professor can be considered as a superficial professional not having enough dedication towards academics by the fellow professors. Consequently, the professor might not be invited to academic and research conferences and also the fund to pursue research would be withheld. These claims by the lecture opposes the passage which states that television appearances of the professor would help build good reputation beyond the University as well.
Second, the lecture asserts that a professor would have to invest a lot of time to prepare for a television show. The professor would have to curate the content for the show, travel to the venue and even spend substantial time applying make-up for the show. The professor, instead, could spend the same time pursuing research, engaging with the students and participating in business activities of the University. However, the passage states that, in contrast, the television shows by the professor would help elevate the University’s reputation in the general public which can lead to increase in donations and applications from potential students.
Finally, the lecture claims that the television shows by the professors would not be any different from the shows hosted by television reporters who have done sufficient homework. The lecture supports this by saying that the television shows cannot showcase high intellectual content as the shows are meant for the general public. As a result, the professors have to be superficial in their talk which can also be done by television reporters provided they have done sufficient homework. These claims oppose the passage which asserts that the shows by the professors are highly intellectual in nature rather than superficial and the general public would get exposed to ideas otherwise would not have.
