The editor of President Reagan's newspaper, worried about deadline problems, is concocting plans to go electronic so that more news can be delivered on time to the Oval Office. The newspaper is the White House News Summary, a daily compendium of what network television and the major newspapers are reporting and editorializing about the Administration. The summary, which runs 16 to 20 mimeographed pages a day, is delivered every weekday morning to the President, the Cabinet officers and 350 top Government officials. In the Carter Administration, the summary was prepared in the afternoon, giving the staff time to cull virtually all of the major newspapers as they came in from around the country. But Mr. Reagan insisted on morning delivery, said the editor, William E. Hart, and this means that he and his three aides have time to include only the top evening newscasts, from the news services and from The Washington Post.

Bolstered by the Government's warning to Unesco against supporting moves to regulate journalists, American and international press groups believe they are now in a better position to deflect a campaign for what has become known as a new world information order. However, those who monitor the world's press in support of journalistic freedoms say the battle is far from over. ''In Unesco you have a built-in majority of governments that control the press,'' said Dana Bullen, a former foreign editor of The Washington Star, who became executive director of the World Press Freedom Committee on Oct. 1. ''But a great many bad things have been slowed down or held off.''

Emma Bugbee, a reporter whose colorful career on The New York Herald Tribune spanned 55 years, died on Tuesday in a Rhode Island nursing home at the age of 93. She retired two days before the newspaper ceased publication in 1966.

Mayor Koch has been critical of benefits won by the Transport Workers Union, but his tough rhetoric does not always jibe with his flexibility in dealing with municipal unions, according to a number of participants in municipal labor affairs. ''He has shown practical wisdom, irrespective of what his oral fulminations may be,'' said Jack Bigel, consultant to many municipal unions. The Mayor's latest attack came after transit workers were awarded a 36-cent-an-hour cost-of-living raise by an arbitrator. The Transit Authority had insisted that the unions had produced only enough of the required productivity and cost savings to justify about a 25-cent increase.
