The top 10 neighbors for Amanda Gorman — an Author — span government officials, journalists, activists, academics, comedians, and public radio, with no other Author appearing in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.98 down to 0.96, a narrow band that defines the flat shape.
Douglas Emhoff leads at 0.98, followed closely by historian Kevin M. Kruse at 0.97 and gun-safety organization Everytown at 0.97. Doug Emhoff (0.97) and comedian Sarah Cooper (0.97) round out the top five. The subcategory breakdown across all ten is: two Government Officials, one Academic, one Activism organization, one Comedian, and one Website (Merriam-Webster, 0.97). The remaining four positions go to Jill Biden (Government Official, 0.96), journalists Nina Totenberg (0.96) and NPR programs Fresh Air (0.96) and Pod Save America (0.96). Journalists and public-radio properties dominate the wider neighbor set visible in the graph. The cross-kind character is the defining feature: Gorman's audience shape aligns most tightly with the audiences of political figures, NPR-adjacent media, and civic-minded comedians — not with other authors.
The audience this entity draws looks less like a literary readership and more like the engaged, civically oriented public that follows political journalism and progressive public media.
