Beth Doane's top 10 nearest neighbors form a cluster dominated by government agencies and news publishers — not other authors, and not the business or sustainability voices one might expect from her subcategory.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.92 down to 0.88 across the top 10, with no single neighbor pulling sharply ahead of the rest. U.S. Surgeon General leads at 0.92, followed closely by HHS.gov at 0.91 and USA Today at 0.90. These three set the tone for the entire cluster. Tallying the subcategories across all 10 neighbors: four are News Publishers (USA Today, 60 Minutes counted as TV Shows, MSNBC as TV Channels — correcting the tally: News Publishers are USA Today, CNN Breaking News, CBS Breaking News, and Newsweek), three are Government organizations (U.S. Surgeon General, HHS.gov, CDC), one is a TV Show (60 Minutes), one is a TV Channel (MSNBC), and one is a Politician (Mazie Hirono). No other Author appears anywhere in the top 10. The cluster is civic and journalistic in character — public-health agencies, breaking-news outlets, and political media — with Mazie Hirono at 0.90 as the lone individual in the set.
This audience shape suggests Beth Doane draws readers who are deeply embedded in the news and public-health information ecosystem, regardless of her own subcategory as an author.
