The top 10 neighbors for Capital Journal are dominated by individual journalists, with the remaining slots filled by a tight mix of political news outlets and one research organization — a composition that holds remarkably steady across the entire band.

The shape is flat: scores run from Mike Allen at 0.96 down to Brookings Institute at 0.95, a spread of just 0.014 across all ten positions. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack. Tallying the subcategories: six of the ten neighbors are Journalists (Mike Allen, Greg Sargent, Chris Cillizza, Susan Hennessey, Dana Bash, Jonathan Martin), two are News Publishers (Axios and National Journal), one is a Magazine (POLITICO Magazine), and one is a Research Organization (Brookings Institute). Capital Journal itself is a News Publisher, so the top 10 skews heavily toward individual journalists rather than peer outlets — a cross-kind pattern where bylines, not mastheads, define the nearest audience territory.

The absence of other News Publishers beyond Axios and National Journal in the top 10 is notable; the audience shape aligns more with the journalists who cover politics than with the institutional channels that publish it. The one non-media entry, Brookings Institute, sits at the floor of the set (0.95), suggesting that policy research audiences are adjacent but not central to this cluster.

This flat, journalist-heavy neighborhood points to an audience that follows political coverage at the individual reporter level as much as — or more than — at the outlet level.
