Max Frankel Word & Image column on progressive collapse of walls that traditionally separated news from propaganda; notes that George Stephanopoulos, an architect of Bill Clinton's Presidency, has been hired by ABC News to offer news analysis about the Clinton Administration; says if senses are so dulled to journalistic conflicts of interest, it must be because news organizations, particularly television talk shows, so routinely confuse dispassionate news analysis with expression of partisan opinion; says television is increasingly lax about old standards because someone like Stephanopolous brings promise of immediate lift in ratings and in profits; says perhaps that is why he was also offered job as teacher and scholar at Columbia University; drawing (M)

Excerpt from Jon Katz's book, Virtuous Reality, on old and new media; says the 'mediaphobe' defines media narrowly: news comes from a thick, sober daily newspaper, read front to back, or from evening newscast, with stories presented in order of descending importance; holds Americans both love and embrace new cultural machinery despite continued growth of traditional media; says VCR's, computers and CD-ROM's are among besting-selling consumer products in American history; holds emergence of new media and broader definitions of culture do not mean that newspapers, books publishing and traditional television newscasts will or should vanish; drawings (L)
