RTÉ News draws its nearest audiences from a mix of journalists, politicians, activists, and environmental organizations — with no single dominant neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audience compositions resemble each other. Across the top 10, scores run from 0.89 down to 0.84, a narrow band that confirms the flat shape: no one neighbor stands out structurally. The Nature Conservancy leads at 0.89, followed by journalist Caroline Orr Bueno at 0.86, politician Tedra Cobb for Congress at 0.86, public radio program On Point at 0.86, and professional Jamie Oliver at 0.85. The remaining five — TV personality Andy Lassner, journalist Jonathan Lemire, activist Amy Siskind, website Treehugger, and politician Sara Gideon — cluster between 0.85 and 0.84.
Tallying subcategories across the top 10: four are Journalists, two are Politicians, one is an Activist, one is a TV Personality, one is a Professional, and one is an Environmental organization. Not one neighbor shares RTÉ News's own subcategory of News Publishers in the top 10 — the nearest fellow News Publisher, NPR Books, sits just outside at position 10 with a score of 0.82. The cross-kind character of this cluster is the defining feature: RTÉ News's audience shape aligns most closely with individual commentators and civic voices rather than with other news outlets.
The flat distribution across a politically and civically engaged mix suggests an audience that follows public affairs broadly, not through any single channel or figure.
