The top 10 neighbors for Jacob Dean form a politically and editorially coherent cluster — but the mix of subcategories is more varied than a single label captures. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 0.92 indicates very strong overlap.
The two highest-scoring neighbors are The Democrats (0.92) and DCCC (0.92), both Political Groups. But the cluster doesn't consolidate around politics alone. Andy Cohen (0.90), a TV Personality, sits just ahead of HuffPost Politics (0.90), a News Publisher, and Hillary Clinton (0.90), a Politician. Raw Story (0.90) and PBS (0.90) add a Websites entry and a TV Channel, respectively.
Tallying the top 10 by subcategory: three are Politicians (Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, MoveOn — wait, correcting: Nancy Pelosi at 0.90 is a Politician; MoveOn at 0.90 is Activism. The full top 10 breaks down as: two Political Groups, one TV Personality, two News Publishers, one Politician, one Website, one TV Channel, one Activism organization, and one Politician. No neighbor shares Jacob Dean's own subcategory — Journalists — in the top 10.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.92 down to 0.90 across all ten, a band of less than 0.03. No single neighbor dominates; the cluster is a consistent mix of left-leaning political organizations, news publishers, and a handful of cross-category entries like Andy Cohen and PBS.
This pattern suggests an audience defined more by a political and civic orientation than by any attachment to journalism as a category.
