About Feature Paper

Feature Paper is an independent analysis desk covering US politics, foreign policy, law, markets, and technology. We publish thesis-driven essays that go beyond the headline to explain how power, institutions, and markets actually move.

Who writes it

Feature Paper is written and edited by Spencer Vance, a veteran journalist and governance strategist with more than two decades covering institutions, policy, and cross-border disputes, reporting from the United States.

How we work

Each piece begins from primary reporting and public record, then adds original analysis and context. Sources are cited where relevant, and we correct errors promptly.
