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 passage states that the professor appears as a guest on television programs that provide benefits for university, television viewers as well as themselves. However, the teacher does not agree and provides three reasons supporting his claim.
Firstly, the passage argues that as a guest on television, provides benefits for the professor. Using this opportunity professors can acquire a reputation as an authority in their academic fields. On the other hand, the teacher states that this situation will reduce the professor's reputation and other colleagues might consider them as an entertainer than serious scholars. Additionally, the professor might not receive any type of future invitation to the meetings or conferences.
Secondly, the text claims that television programs will increase the popularity of the university in which that professor is working. This claim does not hold water in the speaker's view, he states that this type of program is time-consuming for professors including preparation time, travel time. This will reduce professors' focus on university students and eventually reduce university performance.
Finally, as per the passage, this program helps viewers to gain more knowledge from experts and they get some real insights. In contrast, the lecturer asserts that televisions viewers are more interested in an entertaining program rather than an academic program. Viewers like to see some history-related program or some other general program which can be delivered by reporters who have some knowledge in that field. No need for any scholarly professor for this type of program.
