Peter Alexander's top 10 neighbors form a tight, homogeneous cluster — journalists and political figures drawn from the same narrow corner of the media-and-politics landscape, with scores spanning just 0.98 to 0.98 at the top and settling at 0.98 across the set.
The shape is flat: no single neighbor pulls away from the pack. Richard Engel leads at 0.98, followed immediately by Katy Tur and Hallie Jackson, both at 0.98, then Michael Beschloss at 0.98 and Daniel Dale at 0.98. The compression across all ten positions — from Engel's 0.98 down to The Lincoln Project at 0.98 — is striking: there is no dominant neighbor, only a dense pack. Tallying the subcategories confirms the composition: seven of the top 10 are Journalists, with Michael Beschloss (Authors, 0.98) and Marc E. Elias (Professionals, 0.98) as the only departures from that core, alongside The Lincoln Project (Political Groups, 0.98). The neighbor set is overwhelmingly same-kind — fellow journalists — with a thin ring of political-adjacent figures at the edges.
What this shape reveals is an audience defined almost entirely by a single professional niche: people who follow political journalism closely enough that their attention profile is nearly interchangeable across the reporters and correspondents who cover Washington.
