Ian Bremmer's top 10 neighbors are a dense cluster of journalists and news publishers, with scores spanning just 0.9809 to 0.9884 — a narrow band that reflects a flat shape with no single dominant pull. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; the compressed range means no neighbor stands meaningfully apart from the rest.
Seven of the ten neighbors are journalists: Kara Swisher (0.99), Nicholas Kristof (0.99), Jeffrey Goldberg (0.98), Olivia Nuzzi (0.98), Glenn Thrush (0.98), Ryan Lizza (0.98), and Andrew Ross Sorkin (0.98). One neighbor is a fellow Academic — Paul Krugman at 0.98 — making him the only other entity in the top 10 sharing Bremmer's own subcategory. Scott Galloway (0.99) is classified as a Professional, and MediaPost (0.98) is a Website — the lone non-person entity in the set.
The cross-kind finding is notable: Bremmer is an Academic whose nearest audiences are shaped almost entirely by journalists and news-adjacent professionals, with Krugman the sole fellow Academic in the top 10. The cluster is tight, credentialed, and oriented around political and business media rather than academic peers.
This audience shape belongs to a reader who follows the byline, not the beat.
