Whereas the author of the reading says that these television appearance is of a great benefit to everyone, the lecture cast doubts on the main points made in the reading providing three reasons.
The reading passage and lecture are both about appearance of professors on television. This issue is illustrated by examples of benefits to professors, to universities and to public. Whereas the author of the reading says that these television appearance is of a great benefit to everyone, the lecture cast doubts on the main points made in the reading providing three reasons.
First, according to the reading, professors have benefit from appearance on TV, because they get much wider audience than in their academic community and they can share their ideas with a television audience. However, according to the lecture, being a TV celebrity professor could get reputation among fellow professors as not serious scholars.
Second, the reading states that university has benefit from appearance of their professors on TV. It leads to an improved reputation for the university, also getting more donation for the university and more applications from potential students. Nevertheless, the lecture argues that professor’s absence in university and lack of time for teaching and research became an issue because being on TV can take a lot of a professor's time.
Finally, as the reading abstract believes that general public also gets benefit from professors appearing on television. Most TV viewers have a chance to learn from exert, get a taste of real expertise and insight. But, on the other hand, the speaker explains that TV networks don’t want really serious, in-depth academic lectures. So, the material that professors really present on TV is as background on current events or some brief historical introduction.
