Other Noted Contributors

Noted memoirist and longtime staff writer, occasional arts and entertainment critic, and author of the nearly two decade old "Slackjaw" column, Jim Knipfel was one of the paper's only mainstays for more than thirteen years. "Slackjaw" ran in the Philadelphia Welcomat for five years before it was picked up by the Press in 1993, where it continued through June 2006. Later, Knipfel worked as the Press' receptionist before moving into a staff writer position. "Slackjaw" continues to be published at Electron Press. Stephanie Sellars wrote the Lust Life column in 2006-2007, which featured stories about sex from the perspective of a bisexual polyamorist. Film critic Armond White was another of the paper's mainstays.
