Professors are normally found in university classrooms, offices, and libraries doing research and lecturing to their students. More and more, however, they also appear as guests on television news programs, giving expert commentary on the latest events in the world. These television appearances are of great benefit to the professors themselves as well as to their universities and the general public.
Professors benefit from appearing on television because by doing so they acquire reputations as authorities in their academic fields among a much wider audience than they have on campus. If a professor publishes views in an academic journal, only other scholars will learn about and appreciate those views. But when a professor appears on TV, thousands of people outside the narrow academic community become aware of the professor’s ideas. So when professors share their ideas with a television audience, the professors’ importance as scholars is enhanced.
Universities also benefit from such appearances. The universities receive positive publicity when their professors appear on TV. When people see a knowledgeable faculty member of a university on television, they think more highly of that university. That then leads to an improved reputation for the university. And that improved reputation in turn leads to more donations for the university and more applications from potential students.
Finally, the public gains from professors’ appearing on television. Most television viewers normally have no contact with university professors. When professors appear on television, viewers have a chance to learn from experts and to be exposed to views they might otherwise never hear about. Television is generally a medium for commentary that tends to be superficial, not deep or thoughtful. From professors on television, by contrast, viewers get a taste of real expertise and insight.
Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose specific points made in the reading passage.
There are many points in reading passage states that a professor should appear for a tv program. How the professors benefit themselves appearing on television but in a lecture, many disadvantages kind of drawbacks for a professor is stated. Mainly two drawbacks are explained here.
Firstly, For any professor to appear on tv is a good thing but there may be a disadvantage for him. Many other professors have questions and they see him with that point of view who shares his knowledge on tv. For outsiders, it tends to be great but for a professor, it is not so good. It is a disadvantage for him. The professor who appears on tv isn't invited to important meetings conducted by the college. He doesn't get money for his research from college. Furthermore, For any professor appear on television wastes his time in deciding what to present on it. He has to prepare for it in advance. He is appearing on tv so that Rehearsal time, make up time, travel time all these are waste of time. If a professor is not appearing on tv than he can do a research and prepare notes for students in wasted time.
Secondly,All the people who are watching tv after dinner that is relaxing time for themselves. They might not like to watch academic subject in that free time. Tv is not that serious medium for study so that people don't consider it very seriously. For any professor, he can not present all the details of his research on television. For any journalist, it is easy to do that small research on a topic. There is no need of any expert professor for this. So that it is not that much feasible and reputable for any professor to come up on tv.
