The top 10 neighbors for David Corn form a dense, same-kind cluster — seven of the ten are fellow Journalists, with scores spanning just 0.97 to 0.99, a range narrow enough that no single neighbor stands out as a dominant pull.
The shape is flat. Andrea Mitchell leads at 0.99, followed closely by Philip Rucker at 0.98 and Natasha Bertrand at 0.98. Kurt Eichenwald (0.98) and Katy Tur (0.98) round out the top five — all Journalists. The remaining five positions introduce modest subcategory variation: Sally Yates (0.98) is a Politician, James Comey (0.97) and Norm Eisen (0.97) are Government Officials, Preet Bharara (0.97) is a Professional, and the Brennan Center (0.97) is a Non-Profit organization. No Academics, Authors, or Blogs appear in the top 10, though those subcategories do show up in the broader neighbor set. The non-Journalist entries — Yates, Comey, Eisen, Bharara, and the Brennan Center — share a government accountability and legal-institutional orientation that complements the journalist core rather than pulling the audience in a different direction.
The overall picture is an audience tightly defined by political journalism and its institutional adjacencies, with no meaningful cross-kind dispersion at the top of the similarity range.
