Ottley worked as a journalist for the Amsterdam News from 1931 to 1937. In 1937, Ottley joined the New York City Writers' Project as an editor.] In 1943 he published New World A-Coming: Inside Black America, which described life for African Americans in Harlem, New York City, in the 1920s and 1930s. The book incorporated Ottley's reports from the New York City Writer's Project. It won the Life in America prize, an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and a Peabody Award, and was adapted for a series of radio broadcasts.] Also the book became the basis for the anthology radio program broadcast on WMAC in New York. Ottley became the publicity director of national CIO War Relief Committee in 1943. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the US Army in 1944.[2] During World War II, Ottley reported from Europe for Liberty Magazine, PM, and the Pittsburgh Courier, becoming the first African American war correspondent to cover the war for major newspapers.] Ottley covered events such as the Normandy Invasion, the hanging of Mussolini, and the Arab-French conflict in Syria. He also interviewed important personalities like Governor Talmadge of Georgia, and Samuel Green, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
