The top 10 neighbors for InsideClimate News form a tightly compressed cluster — scores run from 0.96 down to 0.95 with no single dominant pull — built almost entirely from journalists and environmental organizations, not from other news publishers like itself.
The shape is flat: similarity scores span only 0.9488 to 0.9593, a band of roughly one percentage point across all ten neighbors. Bill McKibben (0.96) and Sierra Club (0.96) sit at the top, followed closely by Judd Legum (0.96), Jacob Soboroff (0.95), and Ronan Farrow (0.95). By subcategory, six of the ten neighbors are Journalists, one is an Environmental organization (Sierra Club), one is a Website (grist, 0.95), one is a Non-Profit (Brennan Center, 0.95), and one is a Government Official (Ben Rhodes, 0.95). InsideClimate News is itself a News Publisher, and only one other News Publisher — Politico at 0.95 — appears in the top 10, making the neighbor set predominantly cross-kind. The environmental thread is present but narrow: Sierra Club and grist are the only explicitly environment-focused neighbors; the majority are general political and investigative journalists.
The overall picture is an audience that moves fluidly across civic journalism, environmental advocacy, and political reporting — with no single neighbor pulling far enough ahead to define the shape on its own.
