À propos de ce contenu audio

At a time when many local newsrooms fear artificial intelligence, The Baltimore Times is leaning in. In this episode of Keep It Local, host Ryan Welton talks with Paris Brown — one of Local Media Association’s Digital Innovators of the Year — about how a 40-year-old community paper is using AI, AR and VR to serve its audience in fresh, creative ways.

Brown shares how the Times is:

  • Making health coverage more accessible with narrated AI summaries and avatars.
  • Creating immersive AR/VR storytelling experiences like racing alongside legendary Black cyclists.
  • Building trust through partnerships with artists, technologists, and community groups.
  • Exploring new AI tools (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Zapier) to streamline workflows.
  • Developing an AI model to process community-submitted stories through a custom style guide.

Why It Matters

The Baltimore Times is proving that innovation isn’t reserved for large media companies. By treating AI as a partner, not a threat, the paper shows how small publishers can lead in digital transformation while staying rooted in community trust.

🎧 Listen to learn why Paris Brown calls AI “a friend, not a threat,” and what’s next for The Baltimore Times.
