The article talks about how television appearances are of great benefit to the professors themeselves as well as to their universities and the general public. The article provides three points to support the same. The speaker, however, disagrees with the conclusion of the article and reftues each of the presented statements.
First, the article says that professors benefit from appearing on television shows because they acquire reputation as authorities in their academic field and are thus, exposed to a much larger audience than they would have originally got. However, the speaker contradicts the argument by saying that professors' appearance on television is not beneficial for them from a professional standpoint. The professor's colleagues tend to develop a reputation of the professor as an entertainer more than a serious scholar. This could have negative consequences for the professor which could range from not being invited to serious conferences or discussions to denial of funds for research.
Second, the article states that the universities also benefit from such appearances. The university gets an improved reputation when a professor of the university appears on a television program. This could not only lead to more donations but also more applications from potential students. The speaker, on the contrary, believes that professors need to spend a lot of their time for television programs which includes travel time, preparation time, rehearsal time, etc which is deducted from their research and interaction with students time. This is a loss for university and its students.
Third, it is suggested in the article that the public also gains from professors' appearance on television programs. Not only are they exposed to real expertise and insight from the professor but also get a chance to learn things they might never have a chance to learn about. According to the speaker, the public are not gaining much from such appearances due to television networks. They do not want serious content to be broadcasred to their audience. They rather want onlt the title of the subject. For instance, they would want the professor to explain the background science and information of a movie that a normal reporter could have presented with a good research.
In sum, the speaker expresses her disapproval of the article's conclusion and provides cogent arguments to support the same.
