Abstract
At present, the role of county-level integrated media centers in rural social governance is becoming increasingly prominent, but there are still significant blind spots in academic research. These deficiencies directly affect the full play and optimization of the role of county-level integrated media center reporters in rural social governance. Based on case analysis and discussion, this study believes that the breakthrough direction of county-level integrated media center construction in future research mainly revolves around the content of digital rural social construction, which is actually the key to optimizing the role of county-level integrated media center reporters in rural social governance.
