The top 10 neighbors for Jane Mayer form a nearly uniform band of journalists, with scores spanning just 0.99 — from Ronan Farrow at 0.99 down to Maggie Haberman at 0.99 — a flat distribution with no single dominant pull.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition. Across the top 10, eight of the ten neighbors carry the Journalists subcategory: Ronan Farrow (0.99), Olivia Nuzzi (0.99), Jay Rosen (0.99), Nicholas Kristof (0.99), Glenn Thrush (0.99), Julia Ioffe (0.99), Rukmini Callimachi (0.99), and Maggie Haberman (0.99). The two exceptions are Mark Bittman (0.99, Authors) and Paul Krugman (0.99, Academics). The spread across all ten is less than 0.01, confirming the flat shape: no neighbor stands meaningfully apart from the rest.
The cross-kind exceptions are worth noting. Bittman and Krugman sit at scores indistinguishable from the journalist cluster, suggesting the audience that follows Mayer also tracks authors and academics at the same rate it tracks fellow journalists — a slight broadening beyond pure press-corps overlap, but not a structural departure from it.
This tight, same-kind cluster indicates an audience defined almost entirely by its engagement with long-form, investigative, and political journalism as a category rather than by any single adjacent figure.
