We contend that media is no longer just a tool, but rather an underlying condition that shapes our experience and understanding of geography. The “media turn” refers to the way geographic realities are co-constituted through various media, from social media, web maps, or films, to AI and extended reality. This co-constitution is often referred to as mediatization, where society is increasingly dependent on media and its logic as well as how media and its logic are embedded in everyday social institutions. Media reinforces power structures which lead to marginalization, misrepresentation and erasure, as seen in the geographies of silence surrounding the MV Joola shipwreck in Africa, one far larger than the Titanic but not picked up by global news. The rise of “fake news” and the “post-truth economy” shows how affect bypasses reason in the process of meaning production. Further, media now involves co-constituted creations between human and nonhuman agencies (AI and algorithms) raising ethical questions about authorship and intellectual depth. Media shape and are shaped by our condition which brings to light both the visible and unseen dimensions of our everyday world.
