Equatorial Guinea plans to restrict the activities of foreign journalists and has banned the sale of Spanish newspapers, diplomatic sources said in Madrid today. They said the measures, introduced in Spain's former west African colony yesterday, provided fines of up to $2,500 and six months in jail for Guineans and expulsion within 72 hours for foreign residents caught with Spanish newspapers.

DURING the late 1960's and early 70's New Jersey newspapers were filled with ''first woman'' stories: the first woman to join a fire company, the first woman executive of a major company, the first woman state trooper. While the professional and business atmosphere was changing drastically, offering new opportunities to women in every field, many of the same newspapers that were reporting the historic firsts were becoming backwaters of male chauvinism where young women were expected to be satisfied with reporting for the women's pages and not dirtying their hands on a hard-news beat. That situation has changed and in the last few years women have made several important advancements in New Jersey newsrooms, with some being named to high positions as editors, executive editors and publishers. But many women journalists remember what it was like trying to break into the male-dominated enclave of the newsroom. ''When I was hired by The Star-Ledger (of Newark) in 1969, every woman wanting to be a reporter, even if she was a college graduate, started out as a typist for the television page listings,'' said Sandra King, who left newspapers after nine years to become a correspondent for television's New Jersey Nightly News.

To the Editor: The assumption behind Arnaud de Borchgrave's argument (''Bum Tips and Spies,'' Op-Ed Aug. 12) are not entirely unreasonable. The public must be able to count upon the integrity of journalists. At the least, they owe us an accounting of their connections to those about whom they write, of the economic and political ties which bind them to specific groups in our society, of the agendas they pursue.

At a news conference last week called by the independent trade union, Solidarity, a reporter from the Communist Party daily, Trybuna Ludu, asked the union organizers of a printers' strike why they had failed to ask the population if it approved of the two-day shutdown of Poland's newspapers. Eugeniuz Koscianek, a leader of the Warsaw printers, shot back with an angry question of his own. ''Did anyone take an opinion poll in 1944 or 1945 to find out if we wanted to be members of this bloc?'' he said angrily, referring to Poland's forcible inclusion in the Soviet Union's sphere of influence at the end of World War II. In a Communist state, Mr. Koscianek went on, there were three centers of power: the military, the police and the propaganda apparatus. ''And we have got one of them!'' he exclaimed.

In its seven months, the Reagan Administration has sought with some success to give the impression that it knows what it wants to do about an issue and moves swiftly to get the job done. It has not been able to sustain that image in the legal wrestling match over a group of Cuban refugees here. In their debate with a Federal judge over the status of 1,800 Cubans who came to this country in the spring of 1980 and have been detained since at the Federal prison here, Government officials have presented a picture of extreme caution, indecisiveness and confusion. The uncertainty is reflected in the courtroom exchanges between Federal District Judge Marvin H. Shoob and attorneys for the Government and refugees, as is shown by a review of legal documents on file and interviews with Government employees involved in the politically sensitive Cuban refugee situation.

In Canada, cries for freeing the press are coming from an unusual quarter - the Government. In a report issued last week, a special Government commission condemned a ''monstrous'' concentration of newspaper ownership in Canada which it said sacrificed quality and independence for profits.
