Wenjia Tang is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Media and Communications at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, contributing to Professor Terry Flew's ARC Laureate project "Mediated Trust". Her work examines digital platforms, media policies, and transnational media dynamics with emphasis on U.S.-China comparative frameworks.
Her educational background includes:
- BA from Sichuan University
- MA from University College London (UCL)
- PhD from the University of Sydney
Dr. Tang's research spans platform regulation, streaming media business models, and transnational technology policy, with specialized focus on cultural creation in social media, recommendation algorithms, and geopolitical implications of AI, virtual reality, and metaverse technologies. She analyzes how digital platforms navigate regulatory environments while shaping global content ecosystems.
Her 2023-2025 publications reveal consistent thematic focus on Chinese digital platforms' global expansion strategies (WeTV, Tencent Video), regulatory challenges in emerging technologies (NFTs, metaverse), and data sovereignty frameworks. This body of work demonstrates methodological emphasis on comparative analysis between Western and Chinese tech ecosystems, particularly regarding content localization, policy adaptation, and geopolitical tensions in digital markets.
Currently working on the ARC Laureate "Mediated Trust" project investigating digital media trust mechanisms, Dr. Tang has no documented graduate student supervision. Her research directly informs policy discussions through submissions like the News Media Assistance Program response.
She operates within the Mediated Trust research team, an ARC-funded initiative examining trust architectures in algorithmic media environments, with particular attention to cross-cultural regulatory approaches.
