the value of television appearances of universities' professors
Both the reading and the lecture discuss the outcome from professors' appearances on television, but they have contradicting views on the isssue. While the reading suggests that they are of great benefit for the professors, the universities and the general public, the lecture opposes this claim.
Firstly, the reading states that professors can acquire desired reputation as scholars, through television appearances. The lecture, on the other hand, contradicts this idea by claiming that the only reputation that professors could attain through television programs, is that of an entertainer. It further adds on to say that there are other numerous disadventages for such entertaining professors, such as ignorances from coallegues or cuts in reseach fundings.
Secondly, another point the reading makes is that professors' appearances on television benefit the universities by providing positive publicity. The lecture, on the contrary refutes this claim by stating that such appearances make a negative impact on these academic institutions. It explains that professors, in fact, waste time to prepare for a broadcast instead of using that time for research, meetings or university business.
Finally, the reading also suggests that the public gets valuable academic insight from these appearances. The lecture expresses disbelief by claiming that the material discussed on television programs is basic. As a result, the public is not exposed to any important information.
Overall, as depicted by the reading and the lecture, the issue of whether professors' television appearances are beneficial is still open to debate.
