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 professor in the lecture opposes the views presented in the reading about a TV appearance of a professor benefiting the professor themselves, university or general public.

To begin with, the professor states the TV appearance is not actually good for the professor, since such professors might gain reputation among other fellow professors as the one who chooses to entertain rather than to educate and gives them a feeling of the professor not being a serious scholar, this bad reputation will result in him getting excluded in academic meetings and discussions. This might also result in not getting funds for his research. This explanation stands in direct contradiction to what is stated in the reading as TV appearance being good to the professor.

Secondly, the listening passage notes the point that for every minute spent by the professor on the TV appearance and related things like preparation for it, rehearsal, etc, an equivalent minute of time is lost in his profession and University related activities like teaching, research and other student discussions. This definitely is not good for the University. Even this, is in contrast to what is posited in the reading.

Finally, as stated by the reading, the TV appearance of the professor, who is an expert in that field, will give chance for the viewers to get a deeper understanding of the topic is not valid as explained in the listening. Not many TV networks actually like to include such deeper, academic material in their shows, the aspect they care about the most is only the attention grabbing Academic title itself, not the actual intellectual content. As a result, there is no actual impact by the material delivered by the professor on the public.
