However, this word has another meaning used in book vocabulary. Just in this case, the chronicler is a synonym for the chronicler. Because it is also a person who chronicles events. It is in this vein that the chronicler appears, for example, in Dostoevsky’s Demons.
The word appeared with the first newspapers, around the middle of the 19th century.

About working as a chronicler
The chronicler-journalist is required to be able to summarize the news in a sufficiently official and, at the same time, expressive language. In fact, the chronicle in the newspaper is its only part, which formally does not have an author who would somehow color the article with his attitude to the subject. This happens because such a note should be as objective and clear as possible and state the essence of the event.
The chronicler must be able to reduce facts, highlight the main characters and highlight the necessary small details. All this requires excellent language skills, the ability to quickly analyze data and conduct thorough work.
