Steve Rosenbaum, CEO of the Magnify.net service, said that a dramatic growth of niche videos, like those featured on Native American Tube, has driven the need for specialized viewer communities. Magnify.net currently hosts more than 35,000 channels, allowing thousands of emerging content entrepreneurs to build, manage and make money from their own Web video channels. Users are also able to flag content on the site they feel is inappropriate, and the site administrators can in turn remove such content. “I wanted like-minded individuals to be able to gather around a digital fireplace and tell stories to each other,” explained Rosenbaum, who produced a MTV video-focused program in the mid-1990s. “With Native American Tube, there’s a whole vibrant discussion going on.” In the future, Mya said she would like to be able to produce more of her own videos to showcase on the site. “There are just so many Native stories to be told, and this is a fun and easy way to do it.” n Beginning with this edition, American Indian Report is now a totally “green” publication.
