Politicians, journalists, and government officials dominate Free Beacon's nearest audiences — with Washington Examiner the lone fellow news publisher at the top of the set.
The shape here is broad: nine of the top 10 neighbors score between 0.77 and 0.82, with no single entity pulling far ahead of the rest. Washington Examiner leads at 0.82, followed closely by Ari Fleischer (0.82, Government Officials) and Rasmussen Reports (0.81, Research Organizations). From there, the set fans out across Liz Cheney (0.80, Politicians), Savannah Guthrie (0.79, TV Personalities), Karl Rove (0.79, Politicians), and Reince Priebus (0.78, Politicians). Rounding out the ten are three journalists — Kirsten Powers (0.78), Byron York (0.77), and David French (0.77) — with no other news publishers appearing in the top 10.
The subcategory breakdown is striking: six of the ten neighbors are Politicians or Government Officials, and three are Journalists. Only Washington Examiner shares Free Beacon's own News Publishers subcategory. The audience shape here is defined less by other publications than by the individual political and media figures who orbit the same Washington-focused conversation.
This broad, cross-kind pattern suggests an audience that follows political actors and commentators as closely as — or more closely than — the outlets that cover them.
