The point of the weeklong ''news blackout'' Gilbert Stinger imposed on his 30 students in a mass communications class at St. Bonaventure University, in Olean, N.Y., was to teach them the value of a free press. They were to learn how it is to be without newspapers, magazines, radios or television sets.

traditionally the weapon of No.2 - is being embraced by Newsweek in its war with an unnamed news magazine referred to as ''our competition.'' ''We don't fit the mold. We break it,'' is the theme of the multimedia campaign that starts in newspapers and on radio next Monday and on TV and cable the following week. It will be a six-week blitz with a $2.5 million general advertising budget that never existed at the magazine before. Previous budgets were specifically for selling subscriptions or selling the magazine as an advertising medium.

In forcing roll-call votes Thursday on two dozen amendments in an unsuccessful effort to protect programs such as food stamps, education and unemployment benefits, Democratic senators said they were ''building a record'' that would encourage voters to protest the Reagan Administration's proposed budget cuts. For now, however, it is a record that is largely hidden from the public because the votes of the local senators were generally not reported by newspapers and radio and television stations. In telephone interviews, editors said they did not report details of the votes because the amendments were ''symbolic'' and ''political'' and their defeat was ''expected'' and thus ''not newsworthy.'' Politicians and public-interest groups routinely complain that news coverage of the Congress omits the specifics of programs and votes that a public must have to keep track of what its elected representatives are doing.

Dr. Dennis O'Leary, the articulate doctor who has been the principal medical spokesman for Ronald Reagan, says that in his reports right after the President was shot he tried to be ''as upbeat as possible without damaging my credibility.'' Similarly, the television networks might well say that in airing, virtually as it happened, the drama of the shooting and Mr. Reagan's surgery they tried to be ''as comprehensive as possible, as quickly as possible, without damaging our credibility.'' Mr. Reagan's recovery appears to justify Dr. O'Leary's optimism on March 30 and to confirm that ''nothing of significance'' was withheld from the public. Where he erred, Dr. O'Leary said, it was for lack of information -for example, in stating that the President had lost less blood before surgery than was in fact the case.

Why the Legislature was ordered back to Albany in special session to act on bills that did not exist - a question many legislators asked this weekend - has less to do with the Governor than with the Assembly Speaker, Stanley Fink. Technically, it was Governor Carey who issued the call for the session. But he was backed into it by Mr. Fink, whose intention was not so much to get the Legislature to act - the usual purpose of these unusual sessions - as to force the Governor to begin longdelayed direct bargaining with the Senate majority leader, Warren M. Anderson. Mr. Carey could not resist without appearing publicly to be playing down the urgency of the state budget situation. Mr. Fink, a Brooklyn Democrat, has told colleagues that he feared a continuing impasse over the budget, coupled with recent miscues by Mr. Carey, could endanger the Governor's position in next year's election enough to bring down the Democrats' majority in the Assembly.

International The Soviet bloc will not sit by and allow the Communist system in Poland to be undermined, the Czechoslovak party leader, Gustav Husak, said in Prague. He likened the present situation in Poland to those in East Germany in 1953, in Hungary in 1956 and in Czechoslovakia in 1968, when Soviet troops suppressed dissidents. Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet leader, sat behind him, giving his warning further authority. (Page A1, Column 6.) Poland's leading hard-liner was chosen to head the country's delegation to the Czechoslovak Communist Party Congress in Prague. The chief delegate, Stefan Olszowski, has long been a protege of the Kremlin. (A10:1-2.)

International Leonid I. Brezhnev flew to Prague to attend a meeting of the Czechoslovak Communist Party. Soon after his arrival the Soviet leader and Gustav Husak, the Czechoslovak party chief, met for talks. Mr. Brezhnev's trip comes amid speculation in Moscow and Eastern Europe that a Soviet decision to move on Poland will be made in the next few days. Meanwhile, East Germany's official press agency reported that thousands of fresh troops had joined the extended Warsaw Pact maneuvers. (Page A1, Column 6.) President Reagan sent a message to Leonid I. Brezhnev, expressing extreme concern over the Soviet threat to Poland, according to an American official. The the President was said to have used ''strong language.'' (A10:1-2.)
