By declaring yesterday that the newspaper cannot continue to operate as it is, The Daily News narrowed its options to three: settling promptly with its striking unions, negotiating a sale or closing the paper. Certainly, there are formidable obstacles to both a sale and a negotiated settlement of the 12-week-old strike.

The Daily News, once the nation's largest metropolitan daily, threatened yesterday to close down soon or seek a buyer unless it stemmed heavy financial losses resulting in part from the strike by nine of its unions. Union leaders and News officials agreed that the announcement could be characterized as an ultimatum to the unions that they agree to major concessions or face the likelihood that the newspaper would cease publication.

Three Cable News Network correspondents gave the world terse and vivid descriptions of the American air attack as they looked out the window of their Baghdad hotel, reporting the sky ablaze with antiaircraft fire and bomb blasts as explosions thundered in the background. "The war has begun in Baghdad," John Holliman said in a flat voice at 7 P.M. Eastern standard time. For 15 or 20 minutes, Mr. Holliman, Bernard Shaw, the CNN anchorman, and Peter Arnett took turns looking out their windows in the Rashid Hotel. The network had no picture of them, but their voices were clear and firm throughout. Several times, they made nervous jokes.

The morning brought good news, as the networks carried on yesterday with what they had promised would be 24-hour coverage of the war against Iraq. After the excitement of Wednesday night, however, they were finding that 24 hours was a lot of time to cover a war that was far out of the camera's range. Not until shortly after 7 P.M. did drama return with reports of a missile attack on Israel. Both Martin Fletcher of NBC and Dean Reynolds of ABC delivered their reports through gas masks, which their anchors insisted they put on. Mr. Reynolds spoke from a bomb shelter in Tel Aviv.

The publisher of The Daily News denied a report yesterday that the board of the Tribune Company, the newspaper's corporate parent, had scuttled an impending negotiating breakthrough between The News and its striking drivers' union. "I'm absolutely mystified and flabbergasted," said the publisher, James Hoge. "It's a total fabrication."

With the start of war, the American-led military command in Saudi Arabia put into effect a system worked out beforehand under which journalists from many newspapers, news agencies, television and radio stations are assembled in 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 in the accompanying article was obtained from such reports.

Two national newspapers have decided to depart from their traditional publishing practices in efforts to attract readers with news about the Persian Gulf war. USA Today said yesterday that it would publish a paper tomorrow, its first Saturday appearance.

Newsday announced yesterday that it was raising its advertising rates but guaranteeing that the circulation gains it has made since The Daily News strike began would hold through 1991. Douglas B. Fox, president of Newsday and New York Newsday, said the rate increases would apply only to advertisers who buy ads in New York Newsday alone or in combination with other editions. The increase for those editions combined will be 25 percent weekdays and 35 percent for Sundays. Newsday says its combined daily circulation has risen about 25 percent to 872,000 and its Sunday circulation by 43 percent to more than 1 million since the strike at The News began on Oct. 25. Erich G. Linker Jr., senior vice president for advertising at The New York Times, said it had no plans for similar increases. Peter S. Kalikow, publisher of The New York Post, said it has held rates "steady for long-term customers" but raised them 15 to 19 percent from last year for new advertisers.

EVEN though war coverage will limit advertising on television, especially in the early days, many agency executives say the situation for advertisers will probably return to normal rapidly. "There is a sense of shock and concern," said John Ferrell, the executive vice president and chief creative director of Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos in New York. "But business has to go on. After a couple of weeks everything should settle down."

The shooting in the Persian Gulf began tonight with the three broadcast networks committed to covering the war on a 24-hour basis, although their image as news leaders was damaged by the Cable News Network's early dominance of the coverage. CBS and CNN refrained from interrupting their news reports with advertising, but ABC interrupted its coverage throughout the night. NBC began using commercials after President Bush addressed the nation. In both cases, the number of commercials was much lower than that on normal prime-time television.
