Dr Chung repeated again yesterday that the media had not been dealing properly with the findings of his Public Opinion Programme opinion polls.
He testified that his belief had been contained in a two-page written document which he submitted, via pro-vice-chancellor Professor Wong Siu-lun to vice-chancellor Professor Cheng Yiu-chung, on November 11 last year.
Dr Chung's submission came after Professor Wong initiated two meetings - on January 29 and November 1 - with him on the programme's polls on the Chief Executive. In the submission, Dr Chung sought to remind Professor Wong and Professor Cheng that he had released a code on public opinion research.
On Monday, Dr Chung told the panel that he had asked his secretary to send a document to Professor Wong shortly before their planned meeting on November 1.
In the document, Dr Chung explained: 'The way our findings were covered by the media was not exactly in the same format as they were released by ourselves.' He has said Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa might have been misled by media coverage about the polling work that he and his research team was conducting.
Earlier, Dr Chung's superior and director of the journalism and media studies centre Ying Chan, holding a pile of newspapers, drew the panel's attention to what she said were inaccuracies contained in press coverage of her.
