Truthout's top 10 neighbors form a tight, undifferentiated cluster — scores run from 0.97 down to 0.93 with no single dominant pull and no sharp drop-off between positions. The shape is flat: the audience composition here is consistent across a dense mix of progressive news publishers, magazines, political organizations, and individual politicians.
The nearest neighbor is AlterNet at 0.97, the only other Website (Truthout's own subcategory) in the top 10. From there, the set fans out across subcategories: The Nation (0.94) and Ms. Magazine (0.93) represent Magazines; Mother Jones (0.94) and Reveal (0.93) are News Publishers; MoveOn (0.93) is Activism and Justice Democrats (0.93) is a Political Group. Three individuals round out the set: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (0.93) and two entries for Ayanna Pressley (0.93) as Politicians, and Marianne Williamson (0.93) as an Author. Jacobin Magazine (0.93) adds a third Magazine to the mix.
No single subcategory dominates — Magazines and News Publishers each claim two or three slots, while Organizations and Politicians each contribute two — which is itself the finding: Truthout's audience shape is not anchored to any one media format or entity type but is distributed evenly across the progressive media and political ecosystem.
