rofessors 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.
Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose specific points made in the reading passage.
The reading thinks highly of professors' going on television to give expert commentary because it will benefit professors, the university and the public. However, the lecturer questions that the benefits disscussed in the reading is somewhat superficial. The lecturer refutes that professors and the public are not benefited from the television
First of all, it does more harm than good to the professors. The lecturer argues that going on television will discredit the professor's reputation as a serious scholar since the his or her counterparts would see him or her as unprofessional enough to be one, as television is more for entertainment rather than education. Furthermore, due to the misreputation, the professor would be less likely to be invited to attend academic events like important meetings or getting less funding for his or her research. Also, it takes time for the professor to go on television, thus leaving less time for research, students and school bussiness.
Secondly, it is not that good for the public as the reading suggests since the television would not want something serious but the intellectual title. The material presented by the professor is not going to be deep and serious. A reponsible reportor is capable of doing such work if he or she does the homework.
