Chapel Hill’s own Jim Lampley’s wild sports ride

Imagine having Muhammad Ali babysit your kid, then going on to cover 14 Olympics and become the voice of boxing for nearly 30 years. That’s just a slice of Jim Lampley’s story, now back in Chapel Hill after a career that took him from local radio to the global stage. His new memoir spills on wild college days, industry shakeups, and why teaching UNC students about truth in media proved tougher than calling a heavyweight title fight. What do you think—can the old-school values of journalism survive in the age of social media? #Sports #ChapelHill #JimLampley
