Monkey Cage Audience Graph • Social Signal

The ten nearest neighbors to Monkey Cage by audience shape are journalists, news publishers, and research organizations — with no fellow blog in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.97 to 0.96, a narrow band consistent with the flat shape classification.

Five of the ten neighbors are journalists: Nate Cohn (0.97), Matthew Yglesias (0.97), Seung Min Kim (0.97), Dave Weigel (0.96), and Michael Barbaro (0.96). Three are news publishers: The Upshot (0.97), POLITICO Playbook (0.96), and Vox (0.96). The remaining two are research organizations: Pew Research Center (0.97) and Brookings Institute (0.96). The center entity's own subcategory — Blogs — does not appear among these ten neighbors at all.

That cross-kind pattern is the defining structural feature: Monkey Cage's audience looks less like the readership of other blogs and more like the audience shared by political journalists, policy-focused news outlets, and think tanks.
