PBS NewsHour Audience Graph • Social Signal

PBS NewsHour's nearest audiences are a dense cluster of news publishers, political journalists, and left-leaning political figures — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.

The shape is flat: scores run from 0.99 at the top down to 0.96 at position 10, a band of less than three points across the entire set. Politico (0.99) and NPR Politics (0.99) sit at the head of the list, followed closely by journalists Chris Hayes (0.98) and Yamiche Alcindor (0.98), and politicians John Kerry (0.98) and Tom Perez (0.98). Rounding out the top 10 are Media Matters (0.98), Chelsea Clinton (0.98), Al Gore (0.98), and Daily Kos (0.98).

Tallying by subcategory: the top 10 contains two News Publishers, four Politicians, two Journalists, one Activism organization, and one Professional. No other TV Show appears in the top 10 — Frontline, the one fellow TV Show in the broader neighbor set, sits at position 25 (0.97). The dominant subcategories are Politicians and Journalists, making this a cross-kind pattern: a TV Show whose nearest audiences are shaped primarily by political media figures and news-focused publishers rather than other television programming.

The overall picture is an audience defined tightly around political news consumption, with no structural gap between the closest and tenth-closest neighbor.
