Essay topics:
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. 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.
The reading and the lecture are both about effects of television appearances of the professors on themselves, the university and the general public. The author of the article feels that the professors appearing on television has positive outcomes. The lecture disputes the claim made in the article. Her position is that no one is benefited from professors appearing on television.
First of all, according to the reading, professors importance as scholar is enhanced. The article mentions that television appearances help them share information with thousands of people outside the narrow academic community, not limiting to onlu scholars. The specific argument is challanged by the lecturer. She claims that a professional standpoint, professors are not actually benefited. Additionally, she points out that such television appearances deter the reputation amongst other academic colleges, resulting in him/her considered as not serious. Also, this might result in not receving invitations to important conferences and less money for research.
Secondly, the author suggests that university benfit from professor appearing on television. In the article, it is said that people think more highly of a university leading to improved reputation, more donations and more applications. The lecturer, however, asserts that it is univeristy who is at loss, when much time of it's professor is wasted on preparing, travelling, etc. for television shows. She goes on to say that this time could potentially have been effitively for research or educating the students.
Finally, the author posits that viewer get to learn from experts instead of superficial banal reporting of television anchors. The author contends that such commentry is the only mwthod for them to gain access to expertise and insight, which previously they had no access. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is that television industry inherently do not want serious academic opinions, they aim for catchy titles diluting the substance. She also notes that the brief succint background, or introdcution provided by professors could invariably be delivered by TV reporter with little efforts.
