The reading and the lecture both discuss about whether university professors should participate in some TV shows for educational purposes. While the article claims that such appearances have substantial benefits, the lecturer refutes this, stating that such activities have no practical values to society.
First of all, the author argues that by appearing on the TV, the professors will expand their reputations as experts in academic fields to a broader range of audience. The author believes that this will help promote the values of the professors as scholars. The lecturer opposes this idea. She suggests that these professors who make appearances on the TV will receive bad reputations among their peers since the other professors will regard them as not being serious with researching. As a result, these professors will not be invited to important conferences and meetings where some important academic subjects are discussed, and this is a tremendous advantage to these professors.
Secondly, the author states that universities' reputations will also be enhanced if their professors take part in the TV shows. It is mentioned that this will give the universities more opportunities to receive donations and also applications from talented students. However, the lecturer posits such activities will take up a lot of time of the professors as they have to spend time on preparing for their presentations, travelling, and sometimes making up for the shootings. She argues that these professors will then be unable to meet up with their students and attend to the school business.
Finally, the author claims that the public also benefit from TV appearances made by university professors. It is suggested that the audience will have access to high-quality sources of information if the professors make appearances on the educational TV programs. The lecturer rebuts this idea. She notes that the majority of TV shows are made for commercial purposes, not educational, so these shows only have a academic title a while, their content is often shallow. In addition, she suggests what the information professors participating in these programs provide is no different from a regular TV reporter.
