METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CREATING AND OPERATING HIERARCHICAL LEVELS OF ADMINISTRATORS TO FACILITATE THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT

A hierarchically arranged content assembly and distribution system includes global and local administrators, the global administrators having the authorization to establish the local administrators. Global administrators have the ability to establish global content, establish global subscriber lists and assemble content for distribution to the global subscribers. Local administrators have the ability to establish local content, establish local subscriber lists and to assemble content selected from both the global and local content for distribution to local subscribers. Each local administrator thus has the ability to utilize both local content as well as content provided by the hierarchy of other administrators in order to assemble content.
