AP Images' top 10 nearest neighbors span four distinct subcategories — magazines, non-profits, professionals, politicians, and activists — with no single entity pulling far ahead of the rest. The scores run from 0.92 down to 0.91 across the full set, a narrow band that defines the flat shape.
The composition of the top 10 breaks down as follows: three organizations (Planned Parenthood at 0.92, American Civil Liberties Union at 0.91, and Women's March at 0.91), two magazines (Nieman Reports at 0.92 and WIRED Science at 0.91), one news publisher (BuzzFeed at 0.91), one professional (Brandon Stanton at 0.91), two politicians (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 0.91 and Malala Yousafzai at 0.91 — Malala is classified as an activist, not a politician), and one activist. The dominant subcategory thread running through the set is civic and advocacy-oriented: non-profits, activism organizations, and politically engaged individuals account for the majority of slots, with journalism-adjacent outlets filling the rest.
AP Images' own subcategory is "Other," so the cross-kind pattern here is the entire story: its audience shape aligns most closely with readers of journalism-criticism magazines, followers of civil liberties and reproductive-rights organizations, and audiences of politically active public figures — not with other image agencies or media production entities, none of which appear in the top 10.
This flat, advocacy-and-media-literacy cluster suggests AP Images draws an audience that is deeply embedded in the professional journalism and civic engagement ecosystem.
