Vince Davis is a veteran reporter and columnist at the San Antonio Express News. Since 1999, he’s been a valued staff writer who shines the spotlight on individuals and communities across the city. Over the years, Vince has found much success. However, he credits it to people’s simple desire for intriguing stories.

Over the years, Vince has found much success. However, he credits it to people’s simple desire for intriguing stories. 

“It’s just that people still want to read stories. They still want to hear about other people,” Davis said. “They connect with the things that other people have experienced, things they’re doing, things they stand for, and we’re just a bridge. We’re just sharing.” 

Liz Teitz, Vince’s colleague, values his kind and welcoming spirit. Ever since she joined the newsroom, he’s provided her with advice and support.

“Vince has so much experience, and he just gives of it so freely,” Teitz said. “He is always one of the first people to reach out to a new person who comes into the newsroom to help make them feel welcomed.” 

Vince sets the standard as an excellent journalist, and does not take his responsibility as a storyteller lightly.

He plans to continue being a voice for those in the San Antonio community, and an example for young journalists coming behind him.

The Vanishing Teen Reader

Over the course of two decades, the teen magazine has quietly disappeared, replaced with digital imitators. One by one, the anchor publications of girlhood disappeared from newsstands. CosmoGirl! folded in 2008. Teen People ended its print run two years earlier. Elle Girl shut down its U.S. edition. Seventeen reduced its print presence to a handful of special issues before going mostly digital. Rookie, the teen magazine built by a teen, shut down in 2018. By the late 2010s, Teen Vogue had also gone digital-only, later folded deeper into the larger Vogue brand in 2025.
