Tom Perez's top 10 neighbors are dominated by journalists and news publishers — not fellow politicians. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 1.0 indicates near-identical audience shape.
The shape is flat: the top 10 span a tight band from 0.98 down to 0.97, with no single neighbor pulling away from the rest. Leading the set are Yamiche Alcindor (0.98), Media Matters (0.98), NPR Politics (0.98), Chris Hayes (0.98), and Politico (0.98). Tallying the top 10 by subcategory: four are Journalists (Yamiche Alcindor, Chris Hayes, Ari Berman, and Chris Hayes — correcting: Yamiche Alcindor, Chris Hayes, Ari Berman are Journalists; PBS NewsHour is a TV Show; Indivisible Guide and Media Matters are Activism organizations; NPR Politics and Politico are News Publishers; and Chelsea Clinton is a Professional. The lone fellow Politician in the top 10 is John Kerry at 0.97.
The cluster is overwhelmingly cross-kind: journalists and news publishers account for the majority of the top 10, flanked by activism organizations and one TV show. John Kerry (0.97) is the only other Politician in the set. This pattern — a politician whose nearest audiences are shaped primarily by political journalism and media-watchdog organizations rather than other politicians — points to an audience that engages heavily with political news infrastructure rather than candidate or party accounts.
ARTICLE (corrected, clean version):
Tom Perez's top 10 neighbors are journalists and news publishers, not fellow politicians — John Kerry (0.97) is the only other Politician in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other; scores near 0.98 indicate near-identical audience shape.
The shape is flat: the top 10 compress into a narrow band from 0.98 to 0.97, with no single neighbor standing apart. Yamiche Alcindor (0.98), Media Matters (0.98), NPR Politics (0.98), Chris Hayes (0.98), and Politico (0.98) lead the group. By subcategory, the top 10 break down as: three Journalists (Alcindor, Hayes, Ari Berman), two News Publishers (NPR Politics, Politico), two Activism organizations (Media Matters, Indivisible Guide), one TV Show (PBS NewsHour), one Professional (Chelsea Clinton), and one Politician (Kerry). The cross-kind character is clear: political journalism and media-watchdog organizations define the neighborhood far more than the Politician subcategory does.
This audience shape reflects a following built around political news consumption and civic-media engagement rather than candidate or party loyalty.
