YES! Magazine's top 10 nearest neighbors span news publishers, activism organizations, websites, and journalists — a mixed-subcategory cluster with no single kind dominating and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.93 to 0.92.
The shape is flat: Mother Jones leads at 0.93, followed closely by Media Matters at 0.93, Michelle Wolf at 0.93, Indivisible Guide at 0.93, and Upworthy at 0.92. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack. Tallying subcategories across the 10: News Publishers (Mother Jones, Reveal), Activism organizations (Media Matters, Indivisible Guide), Websites (Upworthy, grist), Non-Profit (Southern Poverty Law Center), Magazines (The Nation), Journalists (Jamelle Bouie), and one Comedian (Michelle Wolf). YES! Magazine's own subcategory — Magazines — appears once in the top 10, in The Nation at 0.92. The dominant pattern is cross-kind: the audience shape aligns more with news publishers, activism organizations, and civic websites than with other magazines. The presence of Michelle Wolf at 0.93 — a comedian sitting alongside civil-society organizations and investigative outlets — is the most structurally unexpected entry in the set.
The top 10 collectively describe an audience defined by civic and political engagement across multiple content formats, not by loyalty to any single media type.
