The Hill's ten nearest neighbors divide almost evenly across three subcategories: News Publishers, Journalists, and Politicians — with no single entity pulling significantly ahead of the others.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 1.0 indicates near-identical audience shape. The top 10 scores span just 0.01 — from Politico at 0.98 down to Kyle Griffin at 0.97 — a flat band with no structural spike. Post Politics (0.98) and The Washington Post (0.98) anchor the News Publishers cluster alongside Politico. Three Journalists — Chris Hayes (0.98), Rachel Maddow (0.97), and Kyle Griffin (0.97) — sit at nearly the same distance. Three Politicians complete the set: John Kerry (0.98), Jon Ossoff (0.97), and David Axelrod (0.97). PBS NewsHour (0.97), classified as a TV Show, is the lone outlier from those three subcategories. The mix of news outlets, on-air journalists, and political figures at essentially identical similarity levels suggests The Hill's audience is shaped by a broad political-media ecosystem rather than any single adjacent entity.
The flat distribution across these three subcategories points to an audience that moves fluidly through political news, political commentary, and political figures — with no single gravitational center.
