Professor
Professor (commonly abbreviated as Prof.) is an academic rank at universities and other post-secondary education and research institutions in most countries. Literally, ''professor'' derives from Latin as a "person who professes". Professors are usually experts in their field and teachers of the highest rank. In most systems of academic ranks, "professor" as an unqualified title refers only to the most senior academic position, sometimes informally known as "full professor". In some countries and institutions, the word "professor" is also used in titles of lower ranks such as associate professor and assistant professor; this is particularly the case in the United States, where the unqualified word is also used colloquially to refer to associate and assistant professors as well. This usage would be considered incorrect among other academic communities. However, the otherwise unqualified title "Professor" designated with a capital letter nearly always refers to a full profes ...

The UK's BBC programmes such as ''This World'', ''Panorama'', '' Real Story'', '' BBC Scotland Investigates'', '' Spotlight'', '' Week In Week Out'', and ''Inside Out'' fit the definition. In Canada, CBC Radio produces a number of current affairs show both nationally such as '' The Current'' and '' As it Happens'' as well as regionally with morning current affairs shows such as '' Information Morning'', a focus the radio network developed in the 1970s as a way to recapture audience from television. Additionally, newspapers such as the '' Private Eye'', the ''Economist'', ''Monocle'', the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
