- Abstract
-
Internet has become a new way of communication leading the transformation of the use of conventional
communication though digital platforms, bringing a new paradigm in human interaction (Saputra et al.,
2020) but having Internet access does not mean that citizens are using Internet effectively and successfully,
at least for participating in public decision-making. The disruption of information and technology development without creating a media and information literacy as part of the digital education, create a phenomenon that is worrying for the sustainability of society. In critical areas for society such as entrepreneurship,
this phenomenon is critical and highly determining. This paper analyses the Media and Information literacy
applied to citizen participation theoretical framework through a quantitative Bibliometric Overview of the
most important studies in the field. The main objective is to present a general overview of the selected
research areas, determining which of both areas is more explored from the point of view of how these literacies are used to reach citizen participation in public decisions, with a clear link to business decisions linked
to entrepreneurship.
