Slap Magazine

Lance Dawes, the original editor of SLAP, was looking for an assistant-type editor when Phil Shao and Paul Zuanich recommended Whiteley to Dawes.[6] After a positive meeting with Fausto Vitello, Whiteley started working at Slap Magazine on August 10, 1998 as managing editor.[6] One year after Whiteley began working at Slap, Lance Dawes moved down to Los Angeles and Whiteley was handed the editor-in-chief reigns.[6]
