ETS book about the professors appearance on TV to show academic research
The lecture and the reading both discuss the appearance of the professors on the TV to present academic material. While the reading states that this is a beneficial process to professors themselves, the university, and the general public. The lecture refutes this, saying that it is not good for all sides.
First of all, the reading claims that this helps the professors to acquire reputation and appreciation from the audience like scholars. However, the lecture argues that the reputation will be to some sides for entertainment purposes rather than educational, also this will be difficult for professors to get money for doing this research.
In addition, the reading makes an argument that the university will receive positive publicity so that people will think this university highly than others, also the reputation will enhance the donation process and increase the applications from students. The lecture counters this point by stating the interview will take much time from professors in focusing on the material to present, also maybe it needs traveling, and to look good on the screen, so they can spend that time on doing research.
Lastly, the reading passage argues that viewer will have a chance to learn from academic stuff and experts, and to get a taste of real experts. The reading also states that TV is commentary and good medium to that information. The lecture refutes this claim by pointing out that TV does not want a series depth information, also the material that the professors will present just a background , that is not different from any reporter on the screen, so the public will not be benefited much.
