美国西进运动实现了美国东西部政治、经济的一体化,同时也使东西文化区域统一。在美国西进文化的传播过程中,报纸媒介在此过程中起着十分重要的作用。报纸媒介成为西进运动的推动力。但是媒介技术自身是否就可以完成文化的传播还有待思考,文化传播过程中意识与技术应该缺一不可。 The westward movement of the United States realized the political and economic integration of the east and west of the United States and at the same time unified the eastern and western cultural regions. In the process of the spread of Western culture in the United States, the newspaper media plays a very important role in this process. The newspaper media has become the driving force of the westward movement. However, whether media technology itself can accomplish the dissemination of culture remains to be considered. The awareness and technology in the process of cultural transmission should be indispensable.
