The breaking up of media empires might be a start. Forcing independence between media outlets, media providers and media infrastructure. Preventing funding from media outlets to political parties. Some practicable, some moon on a stick.
Agreed on all of that. Still don't think it'll stop a determined proprietor from forcing bias onto the front page if they want to. But weakening their control would hopefully at least allow for other voices to be heard.

If you enforced any breaking up of the media groups, most papers would fold - apart from the two biggest: The Sun and Mail.
The rest operate on such thin margins they're already at breaking point.
The Mirror will likely merge within Northern & Shell in the next year or so and the Guardian is increasingly toothless. i and Indy already sold off/closed down.
