The ensuing chapter will examine the mutual entanglement of cartographic representations with media and communication forms and practices, and their role in individuals' scope of action, particularly in terms of changing perceptions and appropriations of space, as well as broader political and societal dynamics. Digital maps, augmented reality applications and interactive visualisations in the news demonstrate that maps are increasingly functioning as multimedia constructions and becoming action spaces, influencing orientation, communication and social discourse. The analysis of cartography as a media practice illuminates the dynamic and interactive nature of maps, challenging their perception as static representations. This chapter explores the intricate interplay between space, media and communication, demonstrating how cartographic representations are imbued with novel meanings and applications through the processes of digitalisation and mediation. Key concepts: Cartography, media representation, geovisualisation, appropriation of space, medialisation, digital maps, interactive maps, augmented reality, media practices.
