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 states that professor are normally found in university doing their respective work and they also appear as a guest on TV news program or giving expert commentary; this appearance provide professor, university and the general public benefits. In contrast, the lecturer opposes it by providing its disadvantages of it.
Firstly, the reading claims that professors get benefits from appearing on TV like - it will increase their reputation not only in university but also in outside campus people. However, the teacher states that instead of getting more reputation, professor might lost reputation within their colleagues; they would consider professor as entertainer than a serious researcher. Additionally, professors will not be invited for any future meetings and conferences, eventually this will results in reducing their earning.
Secondly, the article posits that university also get benefited from this TV shows like - increasing reputation of university, getting more donations and potential students. The speaker refutes this point by saying that professor will spend more time on preparation of TV show and traveling this will cause negative impact on university. Because professor could not able to perform university's tasks on time.
Third, the paragraph states that general public will get very much knowledge from the well educated professor on TV. The teacher opposes this point by saying that, These TV show don't want in depth knowledge from a highly qualified professor rather they just want academic tittle from them. Professors are not doing any different task than TV reporters. Hence, general public will not get any benefit.
To sum up lecturer and article holds contradictory views.
