The premise

The Chronicle is the name of a science fiction television series on the Sci Fi Channel. The series is based on the "News from the Edge" series of novels by Mark Sumner, a St. Louis, Missouri based author. The show was originally sold to NBC, which shot the pilot, then later found a home with The Sci-Fi Channel.

Horror Vault's take

The Chronicle follows the chaotic world of a tabloid newspaper where the outlandish headlines turn out to be terrifyingly real. Reporters are thrown headfirst into a weekly parade of paranormal weirdness, from monsters to unexplained phenomena, all while trying to meet their deadlines. It's part workplace comedy, part creature-feature anthology, wrapped in a gleefully self-aware Sci-Fi Channel package.
