tv appearances

The reading and the lecture are both about the television appearances of professors. The author of the reading feels that television appearances are beneficial. The lecturer, however, challenges these explanations and provides few reasons for support.

To begin with, the passage posits that television appearances enhance the professor's importance as a scholar. The lecturer, nevertheless, refutes this point by saying that TV appearances tend to create a bad image among fellow teachers. They may think that the professor is more into entertainment rather than education, so it affects the professor funding for research.

Secondly, the author asserts that Tv appearances of professors improve college reputation, which in turn leads to more donations for the university. Again, the lecturer opposes this by claiming that to prepare for TV appearances, a professor should prepare so well and it is time waste as he has to prepare what to talk, how to look and how to dress. He goes on and says that instead professor can use this time in meeting students and doing research, Which benefits the university.

Thirdly, the author asserts that from TV appearances, the public will also gain benefits, but the lecturer strongly disagrees with this by stating that televisions do not require in-depth knowledge on any topic. It just needs some background information. Furthermore, the brief information which public needs can be provided even by a reporter with little homework.
