The conclusion is made that American press is one of the most influential moments in organizing the national democratic liberation movement over the British Empire, which could not stop or assume control of expansion in the number of printing offices.

Summary

Introduction

Иванян отстаивает позицию о решающей роли печатных изданий в развитии американского государства, в частности, он подчеркивает, что еще до конституционального закрепления трех ветвей власти уже были определены их роль и место в общественнополитической жизни колоний[2]. Что обращение к истории американской печатной мысли по-прежнему остается весьма актуальным явлением, позволяющим сквозь призму ее развития рассмотреть комплексную историю государства Соединенные Штаты с его политическим, культурологическим, экономическим и другими аспектами, а также проследить этапы укрепления влияния прессы на общественное мнение Америки.
