From its base in Nairobi, Kenya, Conley travelled across the African continent covering events and filing stories for NBC News and its affiliated programs such as The Huntley-Brinkley Report.[2] Conley's news beat took him from Angola to Zanzibar,[2] a time when overseas news bureaus for the United States were not so ubiquitous as in later times.
