Il flash cronachistico

Italian to English Art/Literary History
From a description of Italy at the turn of the 20th century:

Il flash cronachistico mette in luce un paese di 33 milioni e mezzo di persone, dove la parte attiva è occupata per il 44 per cento in agricoltura, seguita da terziario (28%), industria (22) e amministrazione pubblica con il restante 6 per cento.

"...The Egypt Democracy Compass is designed to provide a snapshot of the country’s trajectory, either toward or further away from a truly democratic system, on a monthly basis. .."

you could probably say "chronicle report" as well

The chronicle flash

The chronicle cases taken at random here and there from the historical records highlight a country etc., etc... at least it is how I interpret it...
