The ten nearest audiences to Pat Forde are almost entirely other journalists — eight of the top ten neighbors carry that subcategory, with scores compressed between 0.92 and 0.95. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; the narrow band across all ten positions is what the flat shape flag captures.
The eight journalist neighbors are Jeff Goodman (0.95), Stewart Mandel (0.93), Bruce Feldman (0.93), Dan Wetzel (0.93), Scott Van Pelt (0.93), Andy Katz (0.92), Pete Thamel (0.92), and Brett McMurphy (0.92). The two exceptions are Joe Lunardi, classified as a Professional (0.93), and Sam Ponder, a TV Personality (0.92) — both within a few hundredths of the top score. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack; the gap between first and tenth is just 0.03.
The result is a same-kind cluster with almost no cross-kind signal in the top 10: the audience that follows Pat Forde looks, in shape, nearly identical to the audiences that follow other sports journalists and college sports media figures.
