Introduction
Chronology is the arrangement of events by time

Chronological report is a style of report writing that’s structured in order.

Today, chronological reports are often used during periods of breaking

news

Sticking with a chronological timeline is the easiest way for audiences to

follow what happens

WHAT IS A CHRONOLOGICAL
REPORT
It is a way of providing non-fictionalised, factual information
to a reader

Often, this way of writing will be used to explain a series of

events.

It starts with the earliest events and ends with the latest ones

When should you use a chronological

report?

If you’re a journalist or a reporter, you probably use this writing style to present the
right information to your audience as it happens.

If you’re an author, chances are you won’t ever use this style of writing.

If you’re a blogger, you probably turn to more engaging and creative writing styles,
and present your content in a way that allows you to provide your own opinion
