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 article and the lecture both deal with if the professors will benefit from being on TV. The author states that the professors and the universities both benefit from being on TV, and he points out that professors will gain a good reputation and enhance their importance. However, the speaker states that appearance indicates that the professors are not serious and not showing important things, but they entertain.
In the reading passage, the writer adds that universities will get benefits also by increasing the number of applicants who want to apply to the universities. Furthermore, the author adds that the public will gain more information and taste the real expertise. On the other hand, the lecturer says that professors will not show academic information in-depth, but they will make a brief for such information, which is similar to what is presented by a TV reporter. Therefore, the public will not get significant benefits.
The lecturer adds that professors' appearance on TV will negatively affect their contribution to the important conference. Moreover, the time-consuming in preparing the TV show's content and the travel time will be more beneficial if the professors spend it doing research or studying with the students.
