Résumé	Issue mapping is an issue-centred digital research method that charts the actors, objects, and concerns gathered around a public issue—ageing, climate, vaccines, migration—using web and social-media data. Descended from controversy mapping but reoriented around the issue rather than a controversy or a pre-given social domain, it draws on Noortje Marres's pragmatist account of issue formation and the Amsterdam Digital Methods Initiative's repertoire to let the issue itself demarcate who and what counts.	Digital methods is an empirical research approach, developed by Richard Rogers and the Amsterdam Digital Methods Initiative, that takes the methods of online platforms and devices—the link, the like, the hashtag, the search engine ranking—and repurposes them for social and cultural research. Its guiding maxim is to 'follow the medium': rather than importing offline methods like the survey onto the web, the analyst learns what the medium already counts, ranks, and recommends, and turns those native operations into research instruments.
