This research tries to approach the link between media literacy, information literacy and hate speech. It starts from the premise that there is a necessary relationship between the three concepts and that they are essential to avoid disinformation processes and guarantee the training of critical and autonomous individuals to use and evaluate information within a framework of respect for the people’s rights. Under this statement, the aim is to focus the study on two lines of analysis, on the one hand, the review of the guidelines and main definitions of media and information literacy in order to identify components that may be directly related to hate speech and, on the other hand, the identification of research on hate speech and the relationship that these establish with information and media literacy. The theoretical framework that supports the proposal involves the analysis of the concepts and those related to find the meeting points that support the premise and allow the generation of knowledge on the subject. For this, a qualitative methodology will be used that will consider the following tools: review and bibliographic analysis, to know the state of the art; study of the guidelines on media literacy and information literacy to verify if they are addressing the issue of hate speech and if so, in what way. From the study and discussion of the results that arise from the applied methodology, categories of analysis will be elaborated to address the subject and obtain the main results. It is a theoretical paper and intent to systematize part of the knowledge generated on an emerging issue that mainly affects vulnerable groups in our society. At the same time, it is expected to contribute to generate alternatives that prioritize the approach to hate speech from the tools that provide media literacy and information literacy. Finally, it is highlighted that the proposal is part of the generation of a new line of research that will be carried out by the AlfaInfo.uy Research Group of the FIC.
