Clint Smith's top 10 nearest neighbors are journalists, activists, and organizations — not other authors. The scores run from 0.97 to 0.99, a narrow band with no single dominant pull, and the mix of subcategories tells the structural story more than any individual rank does.
Journalists make up three of the ten slots: Nikole Hannah-Jones at 0.99, Wesley Lowery at 0.98, and Jamil Smith at 0.98. Activists account for another three: Samuel Sinyangwe at 0.99, Brittany Cunningham at 0.98, and DeRay Mckesson at 0.97. The remaining four positions go to W. Kamau Bell (Comedians, 0.98), NPR's Code Switch (Podcasts and Radio, 0.98), Cori Bush (Politicians, 0.98), and the Equal Justice Initiative (Non-Profit, 0.97). No other author appears in the top 10.
The pattern is a cross-kind cluster: an author whose nearest audiences are shaped primarily by journalism and activism, with politics and media rounding out the set. The tight score range confirms this isn't a spike toward any one neighbor — it's a coherent audience that moves across these subcategories as a unit.
