The reading and the lecture offer opposing views on the benefits of professors appearing on TV news programs as guests. While the passage says that it benefits multiple parties including the professors themselves, the lecturer repudiates this claim and goes on to say that it may not do any good to anyone.
First, the text posits that professors benefit from this activity as they get recognition among wider audience as academic experts. In contrary, the speaker refutes this by saying that such professors may suffer professionally as they may be perceived by fellow scholars as those who are more into entertaining than educating. This may result in them losing on the research and scholarship.
Besides this, the lecturer contends that a lot of their time will be wasted in preparing for the news programs in gathering content to speak, to rehearse, to travel and ultimately to prepare themselves to look good on the TV. This time can be utilized in the university related activities like meeting students and doing research.
Seondly, the text states that the general public will benefit as it will get contents from the experts which would not have been possible otherwise. However, the lectuer says that TV networks do not prefer to broadcast intellectual content in after dinner shows. Additionally, she believes that the same content can be delivered by a reporter who has done some background research in the related topic. So, pubic may not take adavantage of this due to the quality of content broadcasted.
Thus, there is a clear disparity in the arguments put forth by both reading and listening and it can be concluded that the text fails to substantiate the arguments presented by the lecturer.
