These would all help: well funded public broadcasting (for TV & radio); strongly enforced regulations for public advertising (public square); encouragement of open source & open standards; real anti-trust enforcement.
Most of the above exists - the problem is political & regulatory capture constantly undermines and weakens a lot of it.
