ADL's ten nearest neighbors by audience similarity — a measure of how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition — span journalists, activists, academics, TV personalities, and a government official, all compressed into a narrow band from 0.93 to 0.95. No single neighbor dominates; the flat shape means the audience is distributed evenly across a recognizable cluster rather than anchored to one pole.
Journalists make up the plurality of the top 10. David Corn (0.94), Joyce Alene (0.94), Stephanie Ruhle (0.93), Mika Brzezinski (0.93), and Amee Vanderpool (0.93) all land in that subcategory. The remaining five positions go to Jonathan Greenblatt (0.95, Activists), Laurence Tribe (0.94, Academics), Lawrence O'Donnell (0.94, TV Personalities), the Rachel Maddow Blog (0.93, Blogs), and John O. Brennan (0.93, Government Officials). No other non-profit appears in the top 10 — ADL's own subcategory is absent from its nearest neighbors entirely. The cluster is defined instead by political journalists, legal commentators, and accountability-oriented voices across media and government.
The even distribution across this cluster points to an audience whose shape is defined less by any single figure than by a consistent orientation toward political news and institutional accountability coverage.
