He spent 11 years with the Associated Press before joining the Wall Street Journal. McCartney is the author of three books, including ENIAC: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the World's First Computer.

The Edith Fox King Lecture was named for a former journalism teacher who taught at San Antonio College from 1958-1968. She also was a leader in high school journalism and has a special teaching award named in her honor by the Interscholastic League Press Conference, a statewide journalism organization for middle and high school journalism students and teachers.
