Macron's nearest audiences are built almost entirely from news publishers and journalists — not other politicians.
Across the top 10 neighbors, the subcategory breakdown is dominated by News Publishers and Journalists, with a single Magazine entry rounding out the set. The Economist leads at 0.96, followed closely by Foreign Policy at 0.96 and Jacob Soboroff at 0.96 — the first journalist in the set. WIRED (0.96) and Foreign Affairs (0.96) continue the pattern, with Business Insider (0.96), The New York Times (0.95), Nicholas Kristof (0.95), Bloomberg Opinion (0.95), and Nieman Reports (0.95) completing the ten. The scores span only 0.96 to 0.95 — a narrow band consistent with the flat shape classification. No single neighbor pulls away from the rest.
The cross-kind finding here is the more telling one: Macron's subcategory is Politicians, yet not one other politician appears in the top 10. Al Gore, the only fellow Politician in the broader neighbor set, sits outside the top 10. What the top 10 actually contains is six News Publishers, two Magazines, and two Journalists — a cluster shaped by serious, internationally oriented media consumption rather than by political affiliation or partisan alignment.
The flat shape across a dense media cluster suggests an audience that follows global affairs through multiple high-credibility outlets simultaneously, with no single outlet or figure serving as the primary gateway.
