Al Jazeera English's ten nearest neighbors are dominated by international human-rights and humanitarian organizations — not other TV channels, not news publishers. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 1.0 indicates near-identical audience shape.
Six of the ten neighbors are Organizations: Human Rights Watch leads at 0.99, followed by Amnesty International (0.98), Amnesty International USA (0.98), UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency (0.98), the United Nations (0.98), and UN Human Rights (0.97). The remaining four span Democracy Now! (Podcasts and Radio, 0.97), The Guardian (News Publishers, 0.96), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Politicians, 0.96), and The Appeal (Websites, 0.96). No other TV channel appears in the top 10. The scores compress into a narrow band — 0.96 to 0.99 — which is the defining feature of a flat shape: no single neighbor pulls sharply ahead, and the cluster holds together as a unit rather than organizing around a dominant anchor.
The audience Al Jazeera English shares most closely is one that also gravitates toward human-rights advocacy bodies and international institutions, with a secondary layer of left-leaning independent media and political figures.
