Connie Schultz's nearest ten neighbors split almost evenly between fellow journalists and a mix of politicians, a professional, an actor, and a public radio program — a composition that reflects a politically engaged, media-literate audience rather than one organized purely around journalism as a craft.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.9605 to 0.9732, a band of roughly 0.013, with no single neighbor pulling significantly ahead. Five of the ten neighbors are journalists: Steve Inskeep (0.97), Mary Louise Kelly (0.97), Daniel Dale (0.96), Nina Totenberg (0.96), and Peter Alexander (0.96). Three of those five — Inskeep, Kelly, and Morning Edition (0.96) — point toward an NPR-adjacent cluster within the journalist group. The remaining five neighbors cross into other subcategories: Pete Buttigieg (0.97) and Jason Kander (0.96) are politicians; Chasten Buttigieg (0.97) is classified as a professional; and Bradley Whitford (0.97) is an actor. The presence of Whitford — the only actor in the top 10 — alongside multiple politicians and NPR figures suggests the audience is drawn together by civic and political orientation as much as by journalism specifically.
The flat distribution across these subcategories points to an audience that moves fluidly across political, journalistic, and public-affairs content without concentrating heavily on any single one.
