The top 10 neighbors for Eddie S. Glaude Jr. are journalists, politicians, and a government official — with no other academic in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 1.0 indicates near-identical audience shape.

The cluster is dominated by journalists: seven of the ten neighbors carry that subcategory, led by Soledad O'Brien at 0.98, Symone D. Sanders at 0.98, Van Jones at 0.98, April Ryan at 0.97, Abby D. Phillip at 0.97, Michael Harriot at 0.97, and Joy Reid at 0.97. The remaining three slots go to politicians and one government official: Zerlina Maxwell at 0.97, Stacey Abrams at 0.97, and Karine Jean-Pierre at 0.97. The band is tight — fewer than two hundredths of a point separate first from tenth — which is the defining structural feature here: no single neighbor pulls away from the rest. Glaude's own subcategory, Academics, does not appear among the top 10 neighbors at all; the audience shape he shares most closely belongs to political journalists and elected officials, not fellow academics.

The flat, journalist-heavy cluster suggests an audience that moves fluidly across political commentary and civic discourse rather than anchoring to any one figure or format.
