WHILE most big advertisers are exceedingly reluctant to tie their advertising to the Persian Gulf war, some media companies are not being quite so shy. National Public Radio, for instance, is using an advertising campaign to promote its war reports. And it is no surprise that the Cable News Network, with its extensive coverage, is doing the same.

Journalists covering the war against Iraq are not the only ones complaining about censorship by the Defense Department. So are some of the troops. American soldiers interviewed in remote camps in the Saudi desert said that the amount of news programming on Armed Forces Radio broadcast in Saudi Arabia had been sharply reduced since the war began Wednesday morning.

The television networks said yesterday that they were trying to scale back the amount of live coverage they were devoting to the war in the Persian Gulf. Specifically, network executives said they were trying to get away from covering small developments in the story -- or "sideshows," as one news executive called them -- as well as full live coverage of every military briefing.

Many news corespondents covering the war with Iraq are bridling under a system of conflicting rules and confusing censorship. For the first time since World War II, correspondents must submit to near-total military supervision of their work.

The American-led military command in Saudi Arabia has put into effect press restrictions under which journalists are assembled in small groups and given access to various military sources. These pool reporters obtain their information while under military escort, and their accounts are subject to scrutiny by military censors before they are distributed. Much of the information appearing today on American military operations was obtained under such circumstances.

After the Iraqi Government's expulsion of other foreign journalists, Peter Arnett of Cable News Network reported yesterday that he was the only correspondent from a major Western television network still working in Baghdad. He reported the Iraqis said they had selected CNN because of its "proven impartiality." Mr. Arnett's tenacity has been renowned since he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1966 as a reporter for The Associated Press in Vietnam. Mr. Arnett was one of the few correspondents who stayed in Saigon in 1975 to report on its takeover by Communist troops. Ed Turner, CNN's executive vice president for news, said Mr. Arnett, 57 years old, alluded to Vietnam when urged last week to consider leaving.

To amplify Rolling Stone magazine's fabled advertising campaign, perception is often far more important than reality when it comes to selling ads. The latest beneficiary of this marketing wisdom could be the Cable News Network, whose dramatic coverage of the Persian Gulf war has been praised by everyone from Tom Brokaw to Tariq Aziz. But CNN has two strikes against it: the cable network is part of a medium still dominated by broadcasting, and its average daily ratings are still very low in a business enamored of numbers. So even as they basked in the glow of the world's praise last week, CNN's sales executives faced a troubling question: Will the enhanced prestige of the 24-hour-a-day television news service translate into new advertising revenue?

The war in the Persian Gulf has cost the broadcast networks millions of dollars, scuttled program schedules and thrown the seasonlong battle for ratings into turmoil. After three days of chaotic and extremely costly coverage, the networks began to try to restore some normality -- and some revenue potential -- to their program schedules this weekend.

As in other countries, Turks have learned much of what they know about the Persian Gulf war by watching Cable News Network, carried live by the state television and translated simultaneously into Turkish. But there is a difference here. When the American network, like other news organizations, reported over the weekend that Turkey had opened a second front in the air war against Iraq, Turkish television suddenly cut off the transmission. It switched to a nature program for a few minutes before returning to the war bulletins.
