BBC Politics' nearest audiences span an unusually wide range of subcategories — news publishers, magazines, blogs, websites, journalists, and authors — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.
The shape is flat: the top 10 scores run from BBC Newsnight at 0.89 down to National Journal at 0.85, a band of just four points. BBC Newsnight is the closest neighbor, but it is a TV Show, not a News Publisher — the only TV Show in the top 10. The next two positions go to The Times at 0.87 and Krystal Ball at 0.86, a Journalist, followed by Stephen Fry at 0.85, an Author. That cross-kind presence is notable: two of the top four neighbors are Celebrities and Influencers, not publishers of any kind.
The remaining six slots are split between News Publishers — Guardian Books at 0.85, HuffPost Politics at 0.85, National Journal at 0.85, and Meet the Press: First Read at 0.85 — and two Magazines, Ms. Magazine at 0.85 and Esquire at 0.85. The subcategory tally across all ten: five News Publishers, two Magazines, one TV Show, one Journalist, one Author. BBC Politics itself is a News Publisher, so same-kind neighbors are present but do not dominate the set.
The flat, mixed-subcategory structure suggests this audience is defined less by a single media format than by a consistent reader profile that moves fluidly across political news, literary culture, and long-form commentary.
