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.

Recently, there has been a ton of debate as to professors can have benefits while they are taking part in the television to present their lectures for the audience who are watching the television. More specifically, in regards to the passage, the writer puts forth the idea that the appearances in the television has great benefits both universities and professors themselves. In the listening passage, the lecturer is quick to point out there are some serious flaws in the writer's claims. In fact, the professor believes that showing on the television for the professor does not have any benefits, and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading text.

First, the author claims that professors will have reputations thanks to the wide range of audience of TV. This is because there are some limitations if professor publish the paper and only join the academic journal or other scholars events. Otherwise, they can have reputation while they are appear in the TV. In the lecturer, however, the professor counter this idea by giving a reason that those reputation are only for the entertainment, not for the educational, and less serious than reputation following by other professors. Moreover, those reputation does not help for funding their academic project.

Secondly, the author argues that universities also benefit from such appearances since people will be wondering where those professors coming from. Also the author claims that universities can have a great reputation with it. Yet, the lecturer goes on to says that professors should stay in the university in order to help student, to join the research and academic meeting, and so forth. The lecture have a doubt that if they are go away from the university to join TV, who can take care of both student and research.

Lastly, the author mentioned that viewer gains from professors' appearing on television. In fact, the author says television is a great tool to educate since it has a multimedia tools. But the lecturer rebuts this idea by explaining that the TV version of materials are limited to explain for lectures.
