The American Newspaper Publishers Association was warned last week to prepare for a day when the very notion of a news ''paper'' may be outdated by information transmitted to video screens. ''If you don't get into the business, someone else will,'' said Albert J. Gillen, senior vice president of Knight-Ridder Newspapers, who was one of several speakers to sound the theme at the assocation's meeting in San Francisco.

WHEN the National Computer Conference convenes June 7 in Houston, Gerard G. Leeds's family of newspapers will grow to six. Mr. Leeds is the president of CMP Publications Inc., with headquarters in Manhasset - a business-newspaper publishing concern he started in April 1971 in his home in Great Neck. ''It was a real fight,'' he said of the beginnings of his company, ''with a few people saying, 'Hey, that's a great idea,' and a few people saying, 'Hey, you're crazy to compete with Fairchild,' and the traditional people totally ignoring us.'' But, like Fairchild Publications, with its stable of specialized trade papers, Mr. Leeds's CMP Publications has carved out a considerable niche for itself.

BUDGET cutbacks and contract differences may spell the end for New Jersey's only professional statewide television newscast - at least in its present form. ''New Jersey Nightly News'' has been co-produced by the New Jersey Network and Channel 13 for the last four years, but Channel 13 has halved the funds it is willing to contribute. Carl McCall, senior vice president at Channel 13, said that drastic cutbacks in Federal funds for public television had forced the station to reduce its support of the news program from $1.2 million this year to $600,000 next year. ''All of our local productions will be hurt,'' Mr. McCall said, ''but although New Jersey will get less next year, it will still be receiving the same percentage of our local production budget.'' That is about 60 percent, he said. Channel 13 plans to increase from $450,000 to $600,000 the funds for another state-oriented program, ''The New Jersey Show,'' an hourlong public affairs show whose host is Richard Leone, a former State Treasurer.

IT is difficult for Fred Friendly, who has achieved fame in television news, in the teaching of journalism and as an activist in First Amendment issues, not to dominate any gathering he attends. As his wife, Ruth, put it last Sunday at a meeting in the Sheraton Plaza Inn in New Rochelle, ''We all come under Fred's gravitational pull.'' The Friendlys were there to receive the John Peter Zenger First Amendment Award from the Westchester Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, but this time Mrs. Friendly, who teaches fifth grade at the Edgewood Elementary School in Scarsdale, stole the spotlight, at least for a while. Other speakers had told how she had brought the Bill of Rights alive to her students with ''The Zenger Connection,'' a musical tribute recounting how the 18th-century printer and editor was arrested for reporting a rigged election. Produced yearly in school, it was also presented last December at St. Paul's Church in Mount Vernon, now a national monument because it was the site of that election.

The afterglow of the restoration of Sinai to Egypt last Sunday is fading. The crucial date of April 25, which marked the return of the desert by Israel, also marked the end of the honeymoon period President Hosni Mubarak has enjoyed since he came to power after the assassination of Anwar el-Sadat last Oct. 6. Mr. Mubarak is now faced with a long roster of issues - some foreign, but mostly domestic - that command his attention. Dealing with these issues, ranging from a population growth that is out of control to a major restructuring of an economy that is becoming more and more precarious, is expected to define more sharply Mr. Mubarak's ability as a leader as he charts a course through the maze of often confusing, and sometimes bumbling, bureaucracies he presides over. Still a Mystery After 6 Months Mr. Mubarak was Egypt's Vice President from 1975 until Mr. Sadat's death. He has been President for six months. His moves are reported daily in the Egyptian press and on national television. But many Egyptians keep saying that they still do not quite know who he is or how he intends to put into effect his calls for economic change and greater equity in the distrubtion of Egypt's resources among its 44 million citizens.

Economic turmoil and the perils of being Republican in Democratic-leaning states appear to have played an important role in prompting most of the industrial Middle West's Governors to bow out of politics this fall. Of the six incumbents in the region whose terms expire this year, five, all of them Republicans, have announced that they will retire from politics for now. All were faced with varying degrees of economic problems at home and the prospect of running as Republicans in an area whose Democrats are blaming President Reagan's policies in Washington for fiscal problems at home. Each departing Governor offered reasons for leaving politics. One could not succeed himself in that office, others had served several long terms and one was in trouble with his own party. Each cited personal reasons that are impossible to plumb.
