As I'm at it, I would also appreciate your suggestions on how to translate the above phrase. A literal translation sounds very forced to me.
thanks!
amb un criteri de selecció ampli, es centra en els títols que s’interessin pels diversos aspectes de l’actualitat

What I'd do is to fold the meaning of the phrase into where "diversos" is, something like "... titles that [s'interessin pel] broad range of [aspectes de l'actualitat]." Not very original, no, but the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. For my money, "criteri" is seldom best translated by "criterion".

Applying a broad selection criteria?
I read and understand Catalán but don't speak it.

: but please note: In English, it's one criterion, two or more criteria.

with a broad selection criteria
'with a broad selection criteria' does sound a bit forced but is used.
See www.nara.gov/records/igguide.html
The following example includes broad selection criteria.
1. Investigative files.
or see web.mit.edu/sapr3/docs/webdocs/reports/rpRFselop.html
Be very careful when using this type of selection criteria, especially if you have authorization for many profit centers and/or cost objects. Even if your authorizations are limited, avoid unintentionally entering broad selection criteria. This could cause the report to run for an extremely long period of time

with a wide range of criteria
I guess with this suggestion we eliminate the "forced" translation of "a criteria", which is really incorrect.

Thanks for the comment. It really sounds better with "using."

: yes, and I agree that 'using' would sound better:)

applying/with wide-ranging selection criteria
amb un criteri de selecció ampli, es centra en els títols que s’interessin pels diversos aspectes de l’actualitat
The ampli implies plural in fact even though criteri is singular
What comes before the amb, maybe a verb would work better (applying for example), rather than the lame amb?
