Dr. Zhao Peng’s research focuses on data visualization, online privacy literacy, computational journalism, comparisons between journalists and news influencers, and AI journalism.
She employs both quantitative and qualitative methods to address questions such as how communication practitioners can create more representative and ethical data visualizations; how journalists can integrate influencer strategies into their reporting practices; how news audiences interact with, perceive, and consume AI-generated news; and how campaign messages can be designed to improve parents’ and children’s privacy literacy.
