English term or phrase: "facts for features"
"Profile America Facts for Features" Facts for Features and Special Editions consist of collections of statistics from the Census Bureau's demographic and economic subject areas intended to commemorate anniversaries or observances or to provide background information for topics in the news. Facts for Features are customarily released about two months before an observance in order to accommodate magazine production timelines.

In many of the US Census Spanish publications they don't even translate this title, but I wonder what would be a good way to convey the message -cause what I got from others is "hechos y características", but I am not convinced or satisfied with that. Any suggestions?

Explanation:
No estaría mal dejar el nombre original en inglés con una explicación entre paréntesis. En este caso, "Features" me suena más a algo destacado, como un aniversario, una fecha especial o una celebración.
