Abstract

This paper presents a review of the main postulates of Media Literacy, a proposal to update its main premises and objects of study, and a set of questions that seek to demonstrate the importance of Media Literacy in the educational context of the pandemic experienced in 2020. The article is organized into three sections: a review of Media Literacy as a disciplinary area that is increasingly gaining strength and relevance in the world, the Transmedia Literacies as a conceptual update that incorporates the diversity of current communicative practical media experiences, and some questions about the importance and current urgency in the context of a global pandemic of a number of contradictions and dualities on the intersection between communication and education.
