Editing Chronicle (section)

===Cronista in the Middle Ages===
Before the development of modern journalism and the systematization of chronicles as a journalistic genre, cronista were tasked with narrating chronological events considered worthy of remembrance that were recorded year by year. Unlike writers who created [[Epic Poetry|epic poems]] regarding living figures, cronista recorded historical events in the lives of individuals in an ostensibly truthful and reality-oriented way. {{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}
Even from the time of early Christian historiography, cronistas were clearly expected to place human history in the context of a linear progression, starting with the creation of man until the [[Second Coming|second coming of Christ]], as prophesied in [[The Bible|biblical texts]].<ref>Richard W.
