English term or phrase: serve and enhance
Context: Information laws serve and enhance media freedoms and freedom of expression generally. These laws make the work of government, including advertising allocations, more transparent to citizens and journalists. The difficulties we had in obtaining information about government advertising practices suggest that abuses of all kinds flourish where governments do business behind closed doors.
