TIME's top 10 neighbors form a tight cluster of news publishers and global institutions — no single neighbor dominates, and the scores span a narrow 15-point band from 0.98 to 0.96.
The shape is flat: BBC News (World) leads at 0.98, followed closely by the United Nations at 0.98, The New York Times at 0.97, BBC Breaking News at 0.97, and Reuters at 0.97. Six of the ten neighbors carry the News Publishers subcategory; the remaining four are Organizations — United Nations (Government), Amnesty International USA (Non-Profit), Human Rights Watch (Non-Profit), and World Health Organization (WHO) (Non-Profit). TIME itself is a Magazine, and the only other Magazine in the top 10 is Newsweek at 0.96 — meaning the audience shape is defined almost entirely by news publishers and international civil-society organizations rather than by fellow magazines. The cross-kind pattern here is the finding: TIME's nearest audiences look like those of wire services, global broadcasters, and UN-system bodies, not other print titles.
That composition points to an audience oriented around international affairs and institutional credibility, one that moves fluidly between legacy news brands and global governance organizations.
