For football fans, next month's Super Bowl is the climax of a long season. For advertisers, it's an expensive method of selling cars, soap and beer. And for NBC News, the Super Bowl is a way to give Tom Brokaw, the anchor of the No. 2-rated ''Nightly News,'' the kind of exposure the network believes he needs in the competition for evening viewers. Timothy Russert, a former political consultant whose job as a vice president of NBC News now is to improve the image of the news division, has proposed a ''news window'' within NBC's Super Bowl coverage, featuring an interview of President Reagan by Mr. Brokaw.

According to a report by the organization issued Friday, 30 journalists were killed in 1985, 13 were held hostage or disappeared and 76 were ''beaten, bombed, wounded and otherwise harassed.'' In the preceding year, 21 journalists were killed, 5 held hostage and 31 beaten or harassed. Mr. Sussman said that half of those killed this year were in the Philippines and most had been outspokenly critical of the military and of the Government of President Ferdinand E. Marcos.
