The top 10 neighbors for The Paris Review span magazines, journalists, websites, activists, and actors — with scores compressed into a six-point band from 0.98 to 0.99, and no single neighbor pulling away from the rest.
The shape is flat: Lena Dunham (0.99, Actor) sits at the top, followed within a fraction of a point by journalists Rebecca Traister (0.99) and Emily Nussbaum (0.99), the longform website Longreads (0.98), and activist Gloria Steinem (0.98). Fellow magazines Granta (0.98) and London Review of Books (0.98) round out the literary-press cluster, but they don't dominate — journalists account for three of the top ten, and the set also includes journalist Lauren Duca (0.98), food-and-culture magazine Lucky Peach (0.98), and culture news publisher Vulture (0.98). Tallying subcategories across the ten: three Journalists, three Magazines, one Website, one Activist, one Actor, and one News Publisher. The Paris Review's own subcategory — Magazines — accounts for only three of the ten neighbors, meaning the audience shape is defined as much by journalists and cultural commentators as by print publications.
The cross-kind composition here — literary magazines sitting alongside feminist journalists, a TV critic, and a culture site — suggests an audience that moves fluidly across serious long-form writing regardless of the medium or platform delivering it.
