Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose the specific points made in the reading passage.
The lecturer is in stark contrast to the claims made in the passage. She explains that professors going on television interview is not as beneficial as it may seem. The reasons she provides are discussed below.
On a first glance, it may seem that professors can gain reputation and importance among general people as a whole. But the lecturer points out that in reality it is harmful to the reputation of professor. The professor may be perceived as not a serious scholar by his/her contemporaries but as an entertainer. So, they may not invite him/her to an important meetings or discussions and university events. This does more harm to his reputation rather than benefit.
While the passage claims that having a professor appear in television does good to the reputation of university as well and aid in bringing more donations, the lecturer asserts little benefit may come out of it. The valuable time of professor is lost preparing for television interview. Going to interview consumes a lot of time in preparation like creating contents, rehearsing, travelling and makeup. This time could have been used in other productive activities like conducting research, meeting students. Thus, the lecturer states that going to interview will not necessarily be beneficial to the university.
Furthermore, televisions do not want an in depth academic content. What they crave for is only the title that attracts viewers. The lecturer provides examples on what the television broadcasters would ask the professor to do like they would ask the professor to provide brief background on recent important event or talk about a movie adaptation of a book. These are simple tasks that can be covered by a TV reporter with a little homework. So, she believes that it is not worthy to spend professors valuable time in such minor subject issues.
