Thus the ICC's geographic distance from cities like Nairobi or Johannesburg affected not just African journalists covering Darfur but also members of the cosmopolitan media field operating in these cities.…”

“…Kenyan journalists are by and large not part of whatSavelsberg (2015) calls a "clustered local cosmopolitan media network" (2015:219).
