What you're describing is actually the artefact of a popular method of organising information in articles called the inverted pyramid[1]. Essentially what happens is the chronological order is discarded in favour of ordering the information by perceived importance

> It is sometimes called a summary news lead style, or bottom line up front (BLUF).[3] The opposite, the failure to mention the most important, interesting or attention-grabbing elements of a story in the opening paragraphs, is called burying the lede.
