Television viewers are increasingly tuning out of broadcast networks' evening newscasts for coverage of war in Iraq, turning instead to cable news networks Fox News, CNN and MSNBC; CBS and ABC together lost nearly two million viewers in first 16 days of war, while NBC recorded slight increase, only because of its ties with MSNBC; three cable networks achieved gains of more than 300 percent over same period; key factor is said to be Bush administration's policy of placing reporters with military units engaged in fighting, which introduced new elements of live, often visceral, coverage that had has profound impact on viewers; broadcast executives urge caution before jumping to sweeping conclusions based on evidence of a few weeks; graphs; photos (M)

By GREG MYRE

Greg MYRE

The Road to Jenin, documentary broadcast on Israeli television, is third provocative film about combat between Palestinian militants and Israeli Army year ago in Jenin, in West Bank, which saw most intense battle of current Mideast conflict; latest work, by French-Israeli filmmaker Pierre Rehov, is strongly pro-Israeli account that portrays Israeli soldiers as humane warriors who track down terrorists and try to spare civilians, while Palestinians possess single-minded commitment to war; earlier documentary called Jenin, Jenin, by prominent Arab Israeli actor Muhammad Bakri, presents Jenin residents giving tearful accounts of fighting, with repeated accusations of Israeli abuses; film was shown few times before country's Censorship Board banned it; Bakri then sought to block showing of The Road to Jenin on grounds it is one-sided Israeli account, but Israel's high court ruled it could air; photo; map (M)
