William Hodding Carter III (born April 7, 1935) is an American journalist and politician best known for his role as Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs in the Jimmy Carter administration.
Carter was born in New Orleans to journalist and publisher William Hodding Carter, II (1907–1972), and the former Betty Werlein (1910–2000). He grew up in Greenville, Mississippi, a Mississippi River delta city which is the seat of Washington County, Mississippi. Carter attended Greenville High School and then transferred to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He transferred back to Greenville High School and graduated in 1953. He then attended Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, having graduated summa cum laude in 1957. That same year, he married the former Margaret Ainsworth. They had a son, Hodding Carter IV, and three daughters, Catherine Carter, Margaret Carter, and actress Finn Carter (born 1960). The couple divorced in 1978, and Carter that same year married Patricia M. Derian, then a human rights official in the Jimmy Carter administration and an author on topics relating to foreign policy, civil rights, and the "New South".
