Letters of Note

Letters of Note's ten nearest neighbors span politicians, podcasters, journalists, activists, and a comedian — a cross-kind cluster with no other blog in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.98 to 0.98, a band so narrow the shape is effectively flat, with no single neighbor pulling ahead.

The cluster is dominated by figures and outlets associated with political media and civic commentary. Jon Lovett (0.98) and Jon Favreau (0.98) sit at the top, followed closely by Tommy Vietor (0.98) and Dan Pfeiffer (0.98) — all subcategorized as Comedians, Professionals, and Politicians respectively, and all connected to the same podcast network. Pod Save America (0.98) and Crooked Media (0.98) appear as Podcasts and Radio entries, reinforcing that cluster. David Simon (0.98) as a TV Personality and ProPublica (0.98) as a Non-Profit add texture, while Matthew Yglesias (0.98) represents Journalists and Indivisible Guide (0.98) represents Activism.

No other blog appears in the top 10. The audience Letters of Note draws looks, by shape, like the audience for politically engaged long-form media — not the audience for other curated-content blogs.
