The reading and the lecture are both about professors appearing as guests on television programs. The author of the reading believes that the appearance of a professor on a TV show will be beneficial for the public, the university of the professor and the professor himself. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that it will have more disadvantageous rather than advantageous.
First the author points out that by sharing his idea with a greater audience over the television, the professor will gain reputation outside of his academic field. It is mentioned that the professor’s importance as scholar is enhanced. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She illustrates that the professor as a TV celebrity will lose his reputation as a serious scholar. Furthermore, she argues that these "TV celebrities" will not be invited to important conferences. Moreover, she states that being an expert for the television will take a lot of time which can be better used for lectures and researches.
Secondly, the author states that the general public will gain real insights from experts of the different field. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She elaborates on this by mentioning that many TV viewer do not want complicated insight talks about certain topics. Moreover, she mentions that the television is more interested in their title rather than their expertise. For most of the viewer, a short summarize would be sufficient, which also TV commentator can offer.
Finally, the author states also that the universities will benefit from the appearance of their professors on TV. The article notes that it will increase the reputation of the universities and thus more donations and more applications of potential students can be received. However, the lecturer does not elaborate on this argument.
