In a media first, two of the UK’s biggest magazine publishers, Time Inc. UK and Bauer Media UK, have united to launch a prestigious MA magazine journalism scholarship at Sheffield University in memory of journalist Gavin Reeve-Daniels. The winner of the inaugural scholarship is Daniella Scott, a student who successfully gained a place on Sheffield University’s Magazine Journalism MA. The scholarship will cover Daniella’s course fees; provide her with an iPad; two weeks’ work experience at Bauer Media UK, and two weeks’ work experience at Time Inc. UK; and expenses during both placements. Daniella, 22, from Cambridge, moved the judging panel with her witty writing and skilful storytelling. She wrote a 750 word article inspired by the Ferris Buller quote “Life Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don’t Stop and Look around Once in a While, You Could Miss It”, focusing on her grandmother and learning the value of life. Gavin Reeve-Daniels had an impressive career that spanned many years at both publishing companies, working at titles such as heat and Now, and made his mark on all who met him. Not only was he profession­ally outstanding, but his dedication to developing junior members of staff on some of the UK’s biggest magazine brands means many will say they owe their careers to his support and encouragement. Gavin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013 and died in September 2014. Marcus Rich, CEO of Time Inc. UK and Paul Keenan, CEO of Bauer Media UK – both of whom worked with Gavin – set about putting together a one-of-a-kind initiative to remember a one-of-a-kind man. The award application was designed to find a student who exhibits the same qualities that Gavin possessed. The judging panel included Gavin’s wife Leesa Reeve-Daniels, heat editor-in-chief Lucie Cave, Now’s acting deputy editor Caroline Millington, Time Inc. UK’s Carole Capon and Dan Coleman and Yvonne Illsley, Department of Journalism Studies at Sheffield University.
