Guardian US's ten nearest neighbors span magazines, journalists, and independent news outlets — a mix that crosses format lines without any single subcategory dominating. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.97 to 0.98, a band narrow enough that no single neighbor stands apart.
Magazines make up the largest share of the cluster: Ms. Magazine (0.98), The New Republic (0.97), Harper's Magazine (0.97), and Boston Review (0.97) all rank in the top 10. Two individual journalists — Astead Herndon (0.97) and Jamelle Bouie (0.97) — sit alongside them, as does author Jessica Valenti (0.97). The remaining three positions go to The Intercept (0.97), the only other News Publisher in the top 10, Jezebel (0.97), and On the Media (0.97). The cross-kind pattern is notable: Guardian US is a news publisher whose nearest audiences are shaped more by print magazines and individual journalists than by fellow news outlets.
The flat score distribution reinforces this — no single neighbor pulls ahead, suggesting an audience that is broadly shared across a specific stratum of left-leaning, text-forward media rather than tightly bound to any one format.
