Bowen of the <i>New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung</i> received the 2010 TDNA
Editorial Achievement Award in a presentation at The Driskill Hotel, Monday,
February 28, 2011. The award was created for the express purpose of
recognizing courage and commitment to the newsroom and leadership in the
community, in advocating and pursuing openness and accessibility to government. </span></p>

was instrumental in the newspaper’s coverage of record flooding in New Braunfels this summer and its aftermath. A series of Bowen’s articles published this
fall served as a catalyst for change in development standards in the Central Texas city.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Bowen’s
“Drainage 101” series leading up to public meetings to discuss drainage issues
highlighted by the flooding resulted in increase public participating in
solving the problems. “Through Greg’s reporting, readers were given the
information and perspective they needed to confidently question the decisions
made by city leadership,” said Managing Editor Autumn Phillips. “The city
leadership listened and action is being taken.”</span></p>
