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.
The author of the reading passage argues that the appearance of a professor on TV is highly beneficial to the professor, the university the professor is from, and the general public. It went further to provide three reasons to support this claim. However, the lecture explains that no one benefits from professors appearing on TV, and refutes each of the grounds presented in the passage.
First, the reading claims that by appearing on TV, the professor acquires a reputation as being an authority within his field. The lecture, however, refutes this point by stating that when a professor appears on TV, he is seen as someone who is not a serious scholar and as one who is interested in entertaining rather than educating. It also states such view of the professor would reduce the research grants available to him.
Furthermore, the article says that having a university professor appear on TV is beneficial for the university, as the university receives positive publicity. Nevertheless, the lecture opposes this by stating that performing on TV takes time away from the professor. Hence, the professor would not be able to satisfy the time requirements to attend to all his students and would be of enormous disadvantage to the university.
Finally, the reading states that the public gains enormously, as they get expert information when exposed to professors on TV. The lecture discredits this point by explaining that TV networks do not want severe intellectual education, and TV viewers are not attracted to highly learned contents. Hence, what a professor is expected to deliver on TV, a serious TV presenter will deliver the same, after proper research.
