NEW periodicals and radio and television shows have recently emerged to entertain and educate children by speaking their language, or by letting them talk for themselves. Tomorrow's Morning, for example, is a newspaper that its editor described as "the Christian Science Monitor meets Mad magazine." WNYC-FM, a public radio station devoted primarily to classical music, has opened Sunday night to youngsters with a show called "New York Kids." What's the reason behind more media targeting of children? "It might be a baby boom, the changing demographics, at least in radio," said Lou Giansante, the producer of "New York Kids."

After 27 years at The Daily News -- the paper that was once like a real-life Daily Planet with everything but Lois Lane and Clark Kent, the paper whose million-plus circulation and ad-fat Sunday issues made it the nation's largest for more than a generation -- Michael Vincent realized yesterday what his future depended on: whether he got a thin brown envelope or a fat brown envelope. Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the magazine publisher and real-estate developer, was taking over. Like the other employees at the paper, Mr. Vincent had been ordered to report to the first floor of The News's architecturally distinguished Art Deco building at 220 East 42d Street.

Mortimer B. Zuckerman opened a new era at The Daily News last night in a tense labor confrontation, beginning the process of telling more than 170 employees, some of whom had worked at The News for decades, that they no longer had jobs. Mr. Zuckerman is cutting by one third the number of unionized news and business employees. The move signaled a low point for the union, the citywide Newspaper Guild, which represents news, advertising and circulation employees at The News, The New York Post, The New York Times and other news organizations.

Mortimer B. Zuckerman is expected to complete his purchase of The Daily News this week, which could lead to a newspaper war in the country's largest city and challenge the conventional wisdom that New York cannot support four newspapers. In an industry that is part production-line grit and part blue smoke and mirrors, the arrival of Mr. Zuckerman as the would-be savior of the bruised Daily News could give the 73-year-old newspaper new life and the city a new publisher with a history of winning influential friends and making bitter enemies.

Japan's longest-running soap opera, the search for a bride for Crown Prince Naruhito, ended tonight with the disclosure that the country's next Empress will be a decidedly modern Japanese woman. She is a 29-year-old Harvard graduate who has spent her short career as a diplomat handling some of Japan's most delicate economic disputes with the United States.

In the sharpest clash involving American troops since they landed here nearly a month ago, about 400 marines attacked a camp of one of Mogadishu's chief warlords today, destroying several buildings, capturing a large cache of weapons and killing or wounding many gunmen. The Somalis were allied to Gen. Mohammed Farah Aidid, who controls most of the southern half of Somalia. Much of the camp, enclosed by an eight-foot-high wall and containing four buildings on the outskirts of the capital, was reduced to rubble.

The Chevron Corporation said yesterday that it had agreed to sell its Ortho lawn and garden products unit to the Monsanto Company, the chemicals giant, for $400 million. By acquiring Ortho, Monsanto expands its garden products line, which includes Roundup and Lasso herbicides. Ortho, of San Ramon, Calif., makes about 300 lawn and garden products, like insecticides, weed killers and plant foods. It employs about 580 workers and has annual sales of about $250 million. Chevron, which has been selling operations that are outside its core oil, natural gas and chemicals business, expects to post a first-quarter gain on the sale.

Cray Research Inc., a top supercomputer maker, said yesterday that it would report a wider fourth-quarter loss than it had predicted earlier because a customer put off accepting a $32 million supercomputer until Jan. 2. Cray had expected to lose money in 1992 after taking a $40 million charge in the third quarter as part of a shift to smaller-scale computing. Analysts had estimated that Cray would earn 87 cents a share for the fourth quarter and $2.48 a share for 1992. Cray shares fell 37.5 cents, to $23.25, on the New York Stock Exchange.

The General Dynamics Corporation is using a proposed economic development program to entice the United Arab Emirates to buy nearly 400 of the company's M1-A2 Abrams battle tanks. In a transaction that analysts estimate to be worth more than $1.5 billion, General Dynamics' Land Systems division has offered to create a United States-based holding company that would make investments in the Emirates in exchange for the tank order. The agreement, known in the industry as an economic offset program, is an increasingly popular tool among military contractors competing for international sales. A General Dynamics spokesman, Karl Oskoian, said the company expects to have a decision on the agreement by early spring.
