Sat in Bolivia awaiting the start of another busy day. Through a surprisingly good phone line, I check in with my office and am told the Independent is a sight to behold! Placed around a huge EU flag on the front page are 50 reasons to love the EU, with page two and three also dedicated to its benefits.

Denis MacShane has a column entitled “Why I’m an unashamed enthusiast for Europe” while the paper’s editorial also sings the EU’s praises.

The current edition of Time (using a very similar approach to the Independent) and the Economist also have a special 50th anniversary editions out now.
