What if the President gave a prime-time news conference and no one came? President Clinton does not quite face that prospect.

The Indonesian Government is purging the nation's newspapers and magazines of reporters who write critically about the Government, destroying the careers of some of the nation's best-known journalists and drawing protests from the United States and other foreign Governments. Last month, the Government arrested several members of the Alliance of Independent Journalists, a group formed last August to challenge the censorship policies of President Suharto. At least two of the reporters are still in detention on charges of "insulting the Government," a crime that can carry a prison sentence of up to seven years.

The Champion Healthcare Corporation said yesterday that it had completed its acquisition of the 200-bed Salt Lake Regional Medical Center and five associated clinics from Healthtrust Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Healthtrust, based in Nashville, received Federal Trade Commission approval to sell the Salt Lake City hospital to Champion, which is based in Houston, on April 10. The sale of the hospital was required by the F.T.C. to resolve antitrust concerns that Healthtrust's acquisition last year of Holy Cross Health Services of Utah would reduce competition for hospital services in Salt Lake City.

The Manville Corporation said yesterday that it was considering various alternatives for its 81.5 percent stake in the Riverwood International Corporation, including its possible sale. Manville said it had hired J. P. Morgan & Company, the financial adviser to Manville and Riverwood, to help in the review. It also said that Goldman, Sachs & Company, which has served as financial adviser to the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust, would assist in the review. The sale or merger of Riverwood, based in Atlanta, would require that Manville, based in Denver, and Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust resolve issues relating to the contractual relationships between them. The trust holds about 78 percent of the outstanding common stock of the building products company. The trust was set up in 1986 to handle personal injury claims against Manville and its predecessor, the Johns Manville Corporation, related to its asbestos products.

The Infinity Broadcasting Corporation said yesterday that the Federal Communications Commission had approved its purchase of KLUV-FM from TK Communications Inc. for about $51 million. The acquisition of the Dallas-Fort Worth radio station is part of Infinity Broadcasting's strategy of acquiring stations in the largest markets in the United States, the company said. The acquisition will lead to formation of the company's fifth top-10-market duopoly, since Infinity Broadcasting, based in New York, already owns KVIL-FM, the biggest revenue radio station in the market, Infinity said.
