By 1860 more than 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 by providing an efficient
means to monitor schedules and routes. Furthermore, the extension of the
telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam -driven rotary printing
press by Richard M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism. When
the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on hard-
operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of information a
newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The
establishment of the Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked
the advent of a new era in journalism.
