Summarise the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage
In terms of the implications of the phenomenon that an increasing number of professors are appearing in television news programs, the author of the article presents three positive effects, whereas the lecturer argue against two of them.
First, the professor in the listening states that engaging in TV programs can pose damage to professors' reputation, which objects to the opinion in the reading that professors improve their reputation by attending TV programs. The lecturer explains that professors who show up in TV may not be viewed by fellow professors as serious scholars, but as someone who choose to entertain instead of educating. Furthermore, the university may not even invite these "not serious" professors to important academic conferences, or even stop funding their research.
Second, appearing in TV programs also take up a great deal of time of professors. These professors will have to plan for the materials that they want to present before the public, travel to the TV stations, and even make up a little bit for better-look appearance in TV. However, time spent on these activities can otherwise be used in professors' research, teaching students, and attending academic meetings in the university.
Third, the instructor in the listening also contends that professors attending TV programs will not benefit the general public, which is clearly negating the view asserted by the author in the reading that the public is able to expose themselves to knowledge that are more scholarly. The professor further illustrates her standpoint by citing the fact that TV programs do not want scholarly way of interpreting issues by the professors, and all they want is a so-called intellectual title to draw viewers' attention. As a result, the mass can in effect acquire the knowledge presented by professors in TV programs from any TV reporters who have prepared for the topics.
