Professors in television
The lecture and reading are both about the professor activities about interviewing on television. The author of the reading believes that it is beneficial for the university as well as the public by the involvement of professor in the television news programs and talks. The lecture challenges the statement made by the author. He is of the opinion that though it seem to be beneficial, however, it is actually not good for the professor as well as the university to get the university professor being involved in the television industry.
Firstly, the author claims suggest that it would be beneficial to the professor himself by appearing in such activities. He mentions that appearing on the television would increase the audience of the professor and more people would be aware about the professor work. This argument is challenged by the lecture. He says that it would decrease the professors' reputation among his fellow professor. Because of which he may be excluded from the important seminars and may also find difficulty in obtaining the money for carrying out research works.
Secondly, the author contends that the university would also be benefited from the professors interview. The author claims that the professors' view would be watched by several people and would get to know about the university. This may in turn work as an advertising.
The lecture, however, rebuts this by asserting that this would disadvantageous as lesser time would be spent on the research activities. He elaborates by mentioning that the time spent on the rehearsal and the makeup for the interview would have been better utilized for the innovative works and research activities. It would be better if the time was spent on guiding the student in their research activities.
Finally, it states that public would get better knowledge from the interview. The author establishes that when professor appears on the television then his view would be seen by many public and they can get the taste of real experience and insight. The lecture, on the other hand posits that televisions tend to have very less time and would only allow to present the idea of the lecture superficially and without proper depth. He put forward the idea that the interview of the professor would be somewhat similar to that of the news reporter who had a detail investigation on the subject matter.
