A coalition of newspaper and broadcast organizations today urged that radio, television and photographic coverage be allowed in Federal courts as a way to inform a public ''largely ignorant about the functioning of the court system.'' The request was lodged with the Judicial Conference of the United States, which sets rules for all but the Supreme Court. It has scheduled a meeting here for March 16-17.

Talking of morality to a degree that Presidents usually avoid, President Reagan yesterday adhered not only to old-fashioned religion but to old-fashioned political wisdom: ''Dance with the girl you came in with.'' Before he got to the nuclear freeze issue and the opposite poles of a God-fearing America and a Godless Soviet Union, Mr. Reagan's speech to the National Association of Evangelicals meeting in Orlando, Fla., sounded the themes that won him support and votes from the so-called religious right in his 1980 election. In speaking forcefully against abortion and for prayer in school to identifying himself as one of the ''many God-fearing, dedicated noble men and women in public life,'' Mr. Reagan appealed to a constituency that seemed, after his election, to have retired to the political sidelines. To Paul Weyrich, a conservative who has urged Mr. Reagan to hew to the social issues that drew ordinarily nonvoting evangelicals to the polls in 1980, yesterday's speech ''might as well have been a declaration of candidacy.'' That view was backed by a high-ranking Republican strategist who spoke on the condition that his name not be used. He said, ''It could fairly be interpreted as another in a series of signals that a candidate is talking.''

After months of suspense, Sam Bowie, Kentucky's 7-foot-1-inch center, has been told that he may finally be on the way to recovery from the leg injury that cost him two seasons of basketball. ''Very encouraging,'' is the way his doctor, R.A. Calandruccio, put it after viewing X-rays of a bone graft performed on Bowie's left shin last October. As a result, he said, Bowie can shed his cast and immediately begin exercises to build up his leg muscles, with a view to rejoining the team next fall.

Despite Sunday's electoral victory by Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic-led coalition, Mr. Kohl and many Western diplomats here are talking in terms that suggest that the Reagan Administration should not interpret that victory as an openended or unqualified mandate to station new intermediate-range missiles in West Germany. Though the missile issue played a central role in the campaign, and served as a political shorthand for talking about the Western alliance and the United States, all parties agreed in their electoral post-mortems that Mr. Kohl won because many voters believed his coalition could pull West Germany out of its deepest economic trough since the war. ''I'm afraid there will be a lot of misreading of the whole thing,'' a well-placed Western diplomat said today, with an eye on Washington. ''This just wasn't an election about stationing missiles.''

For Europeans worried about the future of West Germany, the Christian Democratic election victory is regarded as an opportunity to help strenghen the country's involvement in Western Europe and its defense. There is growing interest in France, and to a lesser degree in Britain, for greater speed in developing European defense options that would complement NATO's systems, strengthen allied commitments to defend West Germany and offer it greater possibilities to increase its sense of control over its own affairs. For several West European analysts, an important lesson emerging from the West German election campaign and its talk of neutralism, pacifism and drift is that Chancellor Helmut Kohl is not finished struggling with those trends. As much as Mr. Kohl's election removed intense concern about destablization in West Germany, some officials, notably at the French Foreign Ministry, regarded the entry of the Greens into the Parliament and the apparent leftward movement of the Social Democratic Party as relative gains in insitutional strength and respectability for anti-Atlantic Alliance attitudes.

International More military aid for El Salvador than previously planned is being considered by the Reagan Administration. Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger told Congressional leaders that the Administration was weighing an emergency aid package this year totaling $110 million, nearly double the $60 million that had been set. (Page A1, Columns 1-2.) Bad loans to Latin America totaling $240 million have been written off by the Export-Import Bank and the losses may rise to more than $500 million by September, according to William H. Draper 3d, chairman of the bank, which is the Federal agency that finances American exports. Because of these and other unprofitable transactions, he said, the bank expects to lose a total of $700 million in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. (A1:1.)

International The Pope condemned violence and the persecution of Guatemalan Indians. John Paul II, who arrived in Guatemala from El Salvador, repeatedly stressed the themes of human rights and the sanctity of human life, issues of high sensitivity in Guatemala, where the Government last week rejected a plea from the Vatican and executed six men whom a secret military tribunal had found guilty of subversive acts. (Page A1, Column 1.) A meeting of 99 third world nations opened in New Delhi and heard Prime Minister Indira Gandhi stress conciliation on political issues and appeal for immediate debt relief and more aid for poor countries. The Indian leader said that such aid should be followed by a world conference that would seek to overhaul the international monetary and financial system. (A3:1-3.)

When the State Senate today unanimously confirmed James P. Corcoran as Superintendent of the State Insurance Department, it also, for the first time this century, approved a man who comes from the industry he is charged to regulate. For the last two years, Mr. Corcoran was the chief lobbyist in Albany for the Prudential Insurance Company of America, and his appointment raised eyebrows among some legislators and consumer groups. Mr. Corcoran says he is unwilling to be pressured by either side on an issue, be it companies or consumers. ''This is a job that I know I can have a very good impact on,'' he said in an interview. ''I know who the players are. I know who the credible people are, so I can get help and hit the ground running. I know where the skeletons are hidden.''
