The reading and the lecture are both about the appearance of professors on television. The author of the reading feels that there is a myriad of benefits from professor’s appearance on TV shows. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is on the opinion that there are not true benefits.
To begin with, the author argues that when professors appears on shows, they gain reputation from people that are out of research field, enhancing his reputation as a scholar. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that this does not look good for his professional career. Other colleagues may think him as a celebrity and not really a serious academic. Therefore, she says that the professor would be less likely to be invited to academic meetings and receives less money to research.
Secondly, the writer suggests that Universities also benefit by receiving publicity from the professor’s appearance on television, leading to more donations and getting more applications from potential students. The lecturer, however, rebuts this mentioning that when the professors goes to such programs, they often spend a lot of time out of the university; therefore, not doing their academic work. She elaborates on this bringing up the point that students will not have access to office hours as they would if he had to stay on campus.
Finally, the author posits that the public gains from his appearance on media. Moreover, it is stated in the article that the general population will have the chance to learn from experts at topics that they might have never heard before. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that the topics on tv shows are usually superficial. He notes that the media usually wants something simple and not serious. They often want the tittle and not the content.
