Content Creation with AI for Adams Multimedia
Artificial intelligence has become a useful support tool in digital marketing, particularly when it comes to research, planning, and content development. This blog demonstrates how AI, specifically ChatGPT, can assist with building a customer persona, conducting search engine optimization (SEO), generating content ideas, and creating marketing content for Adams Multimedia: Rawlins Times.
The focus of this project is on Adams Multimedia’s role in local news and community-based advertising, using insights from an existing customer persona centered on local newspaper readers.
Customer Persona
Information Needed and Prompt Used:
To create an effective customer persona, it is necessary to understand who the audience is, what they value, and how they interact with content. For a local media company like Adams Multimedia, this includes demographic information, behavioral patterns, motivations, and challenges related to news consumption.
Prompt: “Can you help me create a customer persona for Adams Multimedia: Rawlins Times? What specific information do you need to create it?”
Description of What I Did
ChatGPT explained that a customer persona typically includes demographic, psychographic, behavioral, and goal-oriented information. Using this guidance, I relied on previously collected research from my blog, Understanding the Rawlins Times Reader, which focuses on the core audience of a local newspaper operated by Adams Multimedia.
This information reflects the habits and values of readers in rural communities who rely on local journalism for practical, trustworthy information.

Psychographics (values, motivations)
Media behavior (print vs. digital usage)

Non-providable Information
Some information, such as exact income levels, digital ad responsiveness, and platform-specific engagement metrics, was not directly available.
To address these gaps, I asked ChatGPT to make reasonable inferences based on typical local news audiences.
Prompt used:
“Based on general knowledge of local newspaper readers in rural communities, infer the missing customer persona information.”
Results
ChatGPT inferred that local news readers are typically routine-driven, trust-focused, and more responsive to familiar advertisers and community-based messaging than national or trend-driven content.
Generating a Customer Persona
Description of What I Did:
Using both collected and inferred information, I asked ChatGPT to generate a complete customer persona aligned with Adams Multimedia’s local news audience.
Prompt used:
“Using all the information discussed, create a detailed customer persona for a local newspaper reader served by Adams Multimedia.”

Customer Persona: “Wyatt Parker”
Wyatt Parker is a 45–60-year-old resident of Rawlins, Wyoming. He is a small business owner or skilled trade professional with a middle income and strong ties to his community. Wyatt values reliability, accuracy, and local accountability in the news he consumes.
He reads the Rawlins Times multiple times per week, using both print and digital formats. He pays close attention to community announcements, local government updates, and business news. Wyatt prefers familiar advertisers and responds positively to promotions that directly support local businesses.

Why Local Journalism Still Matters in Small Communities
In small communities, local journalism plays a role that national media simply cannot replace. Community newspapers provide residents with reliable information that directly affects their daily lives, from school updates to city council decisions.
Local journalism helps build trust by consistently covering the same community over time. Readers know the reporters, recognize the businesses being advertised, and see familiar names in the stories. This consistency creates accountability and strengthens civic engagement.
Community newspapers also support local economies. By offering affordable advertising options, they give small businesses a platform to reach neighbors who are most likely to support them. This relationship benefits both readers and advertisers.
As digital platforms continue to evolve, the importance of local journalism remains constant. For many communities, local newspapers are not just a source of information; they are a foundation of connection and trust.
Social Media Post
I asked ChatGPT to create a LinkedIn post promoting the blog topic.
Prompt used:
“Create a LinkedIn post about why local journalism still matters in small communities.”
Post:
Local journalism continues to play a critical role in small communities. From supporting local businesses to keeping residents informed, community newspapers help maintain trust and connection where it matters most.
Understanding the audience behind local news is key to keeping it relevant and sustainable.
