Spanish term or phrase: ampliar contenidos, enfoques y tratamientos
I'd like to know if this sounds good to English readers when translated from Spanish. I'm not sure if "treatment" is the right word here, but I can't think of any other...

English translation:broaden their content, approach and handling of coverage
Explanation:
broaden is definitely more appropriate than widen

treatment is probably ok, but I think handling is better

you might even be able to go so far as to say

broaden their content and approach to coverage

since approach to coverage implies treatment/handling
