STATE officials and the vice president of WOR-TV say that the station's sole responsibility is not to provide a preponderance of local news. What news directors call a ''mix'' of local, national and regional news is sought. Which stories to cover from day to day, said Governor Kean's press secretary, Carl R. Golden, is the subjective judgment of each news organization.

International Widespread election fraud in the Philippines by supporters of President Ferdinand E. Marcos was reported by an international team of observers. Some members of the Government's own vote-counting agency walked out, saying returns were being falsified in favor of Mr. Marcos. The observers' report said, ''The electoral anomalies which we have witnessed are serious and could well have an impact upon the final result.'' The team has 44 observers from 19 countries. [ Page A1, Column 1. ] Official Philippine vote counters charged that the Marcos Government was rigging the Presidential vote. Weeping and fearful, the 30 Government computer workers fled from the Commission on Elections with data disks in hand. They sought sanctuary in church where they detailed their accusation that critical printout numbers favoring the opposition candidate, Corazon C. Aquino, were being ignored. [ A8:1. ]

The space agency's unwillingness to release substantive information on the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger has forced the nation's news organizations to rely for much of their coverage on information that was not officially confirmed and, in many cases, came from unnamed sources. News executives said in a series of interviews that the intense public concern generated by the loss of the shuttle and its seven-member crew had created an urgent need for information. They said they believed the public was entitled to learn as much as possible now, before its sense of urgency for correcting what went wrong could fade, rather than after a long investigation. But they also stressed that despite the need for immediacy, accuracy remained paramount in reporting on the accident. Coverage Varied Widely With the main official source of news all but shut down, these news organizations said they were forced to use unoffficial sources, some inside the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and some outside but associated in one way or another with the agency. They said that many of those willing to provide information did so on condition that they not be identified.

AN OLD controversy - what kinds of television news coverage New Jersey gets and from whom - is being renewed here as a State Senate committee holds hearings on New Jersey Network, the country's only state-run public-television station. Originally, the hearings by the Senate's Legislative Oversight Committee were meant to examine the state-operated, state-supported network to see if its news judgments were being subjected to political influence. The hearings stemmed from the resignation last year of Hendrix Niemann, the network's executive director. At the time, Mr. Niemann charged that the Kean administration had put political pressuren on the network's management because of its coverage of last year's gubernatorial campaign.

DELIVERERS for The News Tribune and its new owner have been at odds over whether the drivers are employees of the newspaper or a subcontractor. For more than a month, the 13 full-time and 7 part-time deliverers, plus their supporters, have been manning a picket line outside the newspaper's offices here, saying they were locked out on Dec. 27, when a new owner took over. ''Our men were told at the end of the shift that their services were no longer needed,'' said Jerry Cronin, president of the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union. ''The new owners, Macromedia Publishing, have refused to sit down with the union and have refused to negotiate,'' he said. ''We're willing to negotiate every issue. We can negotiate a contract if given a chance.''

Most Americans believe the United States Government could be doing more to combat international terrorism, but they are divided and uncertain about the value of military action, a recent New York Times/CBS News Poll has shown. Considerable concern about the surge in terrorism emerged from telephone interviews with 1,581 adults from Jan. 19 through 23, as 57 percent said that because of the danger of such attacks they would not want friends to travel abroad this year. The poll revealed a sense of personal helplessness and a desire for greater government action. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said they thought there was nothing that individuals could do to protect themselves against terrorism. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Defense Minister of West Germany, Manfred Worner, has urged that Europe build a new defense against what he sees as an increasing threat from Soviet medium-range missiles. Mr. Worner, in an article to be published this week, proposes a nonnuclear system that would be a more modest version of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, which is intended to knock out long-range Soviet missiles. In the magazine Strategic Review, Mr. Worner asserts that a defense consisting of antiballistic missiles, radar, other sensors and the communications to link them could be built with technologies that ''are either available or within reach.''

Much of a proposed force of small intercontinental missiles would be invulnerable to any plausible attack by the Soviet Union, and development of the force should not be delayed by efforts to arm the missiles with multiple nuclear warheads, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee argued today. The chairman, Representative Les Aspin, Democrat of Wisconsin, made public an analysis that he, with the assistance of his staff, had made of the small missile Midgetman. In it he contended that the $44.5 billion estimated long-term cost of deploying 500 small missiles was reasonable because it was the cheapest method of increasing the number of land-based nuclear warheads that would survive a nuclear attack. Mr. Aspin's 32-page paper was the latest contribution to the growing debate about new missile programs. The paper suggested that it would be prudent to permit a modest increase in size for the mobile missile to permit it to carry decoys and other devices to make penetration of Soviet air space more certain. The Midgetman is now designed to weigh 30,000 pounds.
