The following article is based on reporting by Daniel Jackson and Christopher Ogle, a sophomore at Spotswood High School, Spotswood, where Mr. Jackson teaches journalism. UNLIKE most such get-togethers, say those involved with this Friday's seventh annual conference for aspiring high school journalists at Rutgers University here, the gathering promises to have both controversy and consequence. The 500 high school student journalists expected to attend, said the conference director, Angela Cosimano, an English teacher at Madison High School, face a challenge ''to keep the written word alive in a time of growing use of electronic media.'' As president of the Garden State Scholastic Press Association, Ms. Cosimano said, she scheduled this year's program ''to address immediate and long-range concerns.''

A PRODUCER OF DOCUMENTARIES FINDS HAPPINESS IN THE MOVIES

''A bCREENPLAY and a novel are different creatures,'' said Janet Roach of Shelter Island and Manhattan's East Side. ''A novel is much more expansive, and a screenplay is closer to haiku. Everything has to be foreshortened. You don't establish things necessarily with words. You establish things visually.'' The 43-year-old Ms. Roach has had good reason to ponder such matters in recent years. In 1983, at the invitation of the director John Huston, she wrote a draft screenplay of the Richard Condon novel ''Prizzi's Honor.'' The upshot was the critically acclaimed 1985 black comedy of Mafia machinations that starred Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner and led to the nomination of Ms. Roach and Mr. Condon for an Academy Award for best screenplay adaptation. Although that prize was won for ''Out of Africa,'' Ms. Roach and Mr. Condon won both the British Academy and the Writers' Guild awards.
