TV: EL SALVADOR COVERAGE ON THE EVENING NEWS

A MONTH'S viewing of the evening news programs suggests that there are shortcomings in the treatment of El Salvador. Sometimes the programs present the news about El Salvador tardily, sometimes they get it confused and sometimes they focus on the rhetoric rather than the reality. Consider, for example, when the latest crisis started. It may reasonably be supposed that the Administration, although it didn't actually use the word, announced the crisis on Feb. 16. Secretary of State George P. Shultz told Congress then that the insurgents in El Salvador were ''creating hell'' with Soviet-made weapons. Mr. Shultz, however, never appeared on the evening news.

A judge today reversed a default judgment in a $60 million libel suit against a newspaper and two reporters who had refused to reveal sources in an article that linked a former Iranian hostage to drug trafficking. Superior Court Judge Sara Radin, without explanation, ruled that the reporters, Arnie Friedman and Adam Dawson, of The Daily News, which serves the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles, would not be required to identify confidential sources. The journalists, however, will not be allowed to use information obtained from the sources to defend themselves against the suit brought by Jerry Plotkin, a Los Angeles businessman who was the only one of the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran who was not an employee of the United States Government.

In a major defeat for the news media, the Court of Appeals of the State of Washington ruled today that criminal defendants could force reporters to reveal confidential sources if the information was crucial to the case. In a split decision, the court held that newspapers had a qualified privilege under common law to protect their sources but that judges may make ''a balancing test'' with the defendant's right to a fair trial.

''I'm too old to change'' policies, President Reagan said today. But many other politicians read his choice of William D. Ruckelshaus to head the Environmental Protection Agency as a change of priority and even direction on the environment. Some Republicans, moreover, see this appointment as yet another of several recent steps toward moderation taken by the President, despite his outspoken conservative language on issues such as military spending, El Salvador and Moscow. Publicly, Congressional Republicans are reluctant to challenge the President's claim of environmental consistency. But like Democrats they saw the Ruckelshaus nomination as signaling a shift in emphasis from deregulation and cutting back to more vigorous enforcement and a more detached handling of corporate polluters.

Today's European currency realignment marked another milestone in the evolution of the economic policy of France's two-year-old Socialist Government. Although France gave ground again, the negotiations were a lesson for France's European partners, West Germany in particular. They learned that the Socialists, like the right-wing Giscardians and Gaullists before them, will pursue their interests with breathtaking ruthlessness. The threat that France might yet leave the European Monetary System still remains to trouble the seven other nations in the system, even after today's accord.

President Reagan is aware that his proposed budget for 1984 would be defeated in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, White House officials say. But he has decided to abandon, at least temporarily, the bipartisan tone he has used so far this year in seeking an alternative. Instead, Mr. Reagan is waging an all-out attack on the Democratic budget, charging that it would wreck the chances of economic recovery and delight the Soviet Union. In the last few days, Mr. Reagan has seen successive groups of House Republicans. He has brought in other members of Congress for exclusive evening briefings on classified information about Soviet military strength. And he has scheduled a television address on national security issues for Wednesday evening.

International An accord to realign currencies was reached by eight West European countries after West Germany accepted French demands and agreed to a set of currency values that avoided the possible collapse of Europe's monetary system. West Germany and four other countries revalued their currencies upward, with the German mark rising 5.5 percent in relation to the seven other currencies, while Paris agreed to a devaluation of only 2.5 percent, less than Bonn had sought. (Page A1, Column 1.) Israel has agreed to share with the United States information on Soviet military equipment and tactics gained from the war in Lebanon without insisting on a new intelligence-gathering agreement, American and Israeli officials said.

International An interim arms control proposal by President Reagan is likely, according to Administration officials and diplomats. They said that Mr. Reagan had made a preliminary decision to propose to Moscow an agreement limiting but not eliminating medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe. Under the interim plan, they said, each side would be limited to 100 missile launchers with a total of 300 warheads. (Page A1, Column 6.) The MX missile would be based in improved Minuteman missile silos under an interim plan that a Presidential panel is leaning toward, according to Congressional leaders of both parties. They said this would amount to the first phase of a new land-based program to be followed by deployment of a mobile missile. (A1:5-6.)
