ampliar contenidos, enfoques y tratamientos

Homework / test Spanish to English Other Media / Multimedia TV news reports

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...

"Los informativos en televisión amplían sus contenidos, enfoques y tratamientos"

"News reports on TV widen their contents, approaches and treatments"

Proposed translations (English)

5 +3	broaden their content, approach and handling of coverage	Marian Greenfield
4 +1	(widen, extend) the content, focus and treatment of their coverage	William Pairman

CMJ_Trans (X) Dec 10, 2004: and not to something that goes before?
Non-ProZ.com Dec 10, 2004: It refers to "contenidos, enfoques y tratamientos", all together.
CMJ_Trans (X) Dec 10, 2004: what does "sus" refer to here?

broaden their content, approach and handling of coverage

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
