The professor discusses the phenomenon of academic experts appearing on television. The issues she explains cast serious doubt on the points made in the reading.
First, the professor discusses that participating in TV shows does not benefit a professor because he/she can appear as an entertainer, and will not be invited to meetings to discuss academic work. Moreover, the professor would not get money on his/her research.
On the other hand, according to reading, a professor profits from coming out on TV because he/she gets evaluated as a powerful person in his/her academic area and the professor's concept can be delivered to a considerable people outside of campus.
Second, the speaker states that appearing on TV requires time. Professors have to prepare what to say and what to wear on TV. This takes time away from being on campus with students or handling school business. However, according to the reading, Professors on TV benefit the university because of the positive publicity.
Third, the lecture points out that the public does not benefit because they do not want to watch serious lectures. In contrast the reading makes it clear that public can profit because of being able to learn from a person with special knowledge like a professor.

You need to pay attention to spacing between and within paragraphs. For instance, paragraph one is incorrectly formatted and paragraph 2 and 3 run together.
I hope you learn a lot of English and this helps you with your future teaching job. Furthermore, I hope you get the chance to make more videos. It would have been great to talk to you more about this work you are doing. I am sorry we did not have the chance.
