50.000 miles of lines connected people east of the Rockies . The following year , San Francisco was added to the network The national
telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West and contributed to the rapid expansion of the railroads

invention of the steam – driven rotary printing press by Richard M . Hoe in 1846 , revolutionized the world of journalism. Where the

as a central wire service in 1846 marked the advent of a new era in journalism .
