In the current global context, characterized by the Covid-19 pandemic, the circulation of information about this topic has become one more problem to be addressed. The quick distribution of messages of dubious origin and often manipulated for intentional purposes has put the whole population in a vulnerable situation with respect to the access to quality information on the pandemic. It is not new from information literacy, the treatment of information competencies that allow people to be in a better position to access, evaluate and select the information they need, even in relation to issues related to health. At the same time, , useful elements can be taken to address the problem in question from the perspective of media literacy . This relation between information literacy and media literacy has been reflected in recent working documents generated by Unesco, through its work line Media & Information Literacy - Informational and media literacy where both concepts are addressed from their particularities, but it is detected the need to treat them together in a single global concept. The objective of this work is to research, based on the existing bibliographic production, the main information and media competencies that have been reconfigured from a global pandemic context. As the main results, it is expected to show the existence of sufficient material to think about a revaluation of the mentioned competences and the corresponding proposal of alternatives for their reflection in information and media literacy programs.
