Both the reading and lecturer offer opposing views on whether the attending TV shows for professors have good or bad effects. While the passage supports the professor presence on television, the speaker repudiates the point by presenting some facts.
First, the article mentions that professors appearance on television is beneficial for them and at the same time it enhances their reputation in the academic field. On the contrary, the lecturer refutes this point by saying that professor coming as guest in the television programs are not treated as serious scholar by their colleagues. Moreover, they are not invited for the conference and find it difficult to arrange money for the research as they are considered as teacher who prefer entertainment over doing research work. In addition to this, professor invests time in the prepration of the topic to be discussed in the television program. Therefore, he waste his time in getting ready for the cameras and in the travelling whereas, this time can be utilized in doing research work, meeting students and in some university's business.
Second, the passage posits that it is beneficial for the public watching the program as they can get good knowledge on the topic discussed by the professor. The lecturer rebuts this point by saying that television program do not want any intellectual substance instead they prefer entertaining stuff. Moreover, the speaker states that a TV reporter can deliver the same topic efficiently by doing some home-work.
Clearly, disparity exists between reading and the listening, but the lecturer's evidence are legitimate and tangible. Thus, the reading fails to justify its point.
