Professors are normally found in university classrooms, office, 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 these television appearances are of great benefit to the professors themselves as well as to their universities and the general

Professors benefit from appearing on television because by doing so they acquire reputations as authorities in their academic among a much wider audience than they have on campus. If a professor publishes views in an academic journal, only after scholars 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 tum leads to more donations for the university and more to 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 view they might otherwise never hear about Television is generally a medium for commentary that tends to be superficial,not deep or thoughtful From the professors on television, by contrast, viewers get a taste of real expertise and insight.

The article is about the topic Professor’s on television. Moreover, the writer discusses the benefits of professors coming on to television media. However, In the listening the listener is quick to point out the flaw in the writer's claims. In fact, the listener believes that there are no such real benefits for the professors coming on the television media. She questions the various benefits stated in the article.

First, the reading claims that coming on television is beneficial to professor as it gives them a reputation as authorities in the academic fields among a much wider audience. The listener refutes this point by saying that the professor who comes on television are not that much scholar in their field, they are not much admired by the scholars in that particular field also they tend to get uninvited to important conference because of such publicity. One another consequence could be not getting enough money for their research work.

Second, the article posits that because of such appearances by professor the universities tend to get benefits from it. It states that because of their professors on television media, people think high of the university which in turn lead to increase in donation and potential application of students. The listener rebut this point by explaining that to come on television the professor needs to do a lot of rehearsal also a significant amount of time is wasted in travelling, getting ready for the show and much more. According to listener this much time can be used by the professor in meeting with student, attending potential conference on some topic and continuing their research work.

Third, the reading says that the normal public get benefited because of it as they tend to get introduce to new interesting topic and expert views on some issues by the professors. The listener opposes this point by mentioning that the television media doesn't want to show some serious work on the channel at dinner time. Instead they want only academic title to showcase not the intellectual work, which can easily be completed by a trained reporter. she finally states that the viewers want entertainment, which the television media completely shows.

To sum up, both the writer's and the listener hold conflicting views about the topic. It's clear that they will have trouble finding common ground on the issue.
