Under McCune's direction, the foundation has established two major animal well-being initiatives for the state of Oklahoma, to make the state “the safest and most humane place to be an animal by 2032” (launched in 2012), and to increase Oklahoma's cat and dog "live release" rate to 90 percent by 2025 (launched in 2018). Both of these efforts are a part of the foundation's Safe & Humane initiative. McCune is also the editor in chief and co-founder of ArtDesk, a contemporary arts magazine published quarterly by the Kirkpatrick Foundation. Her background in publishing and editing includes a thirteen-year term as editor in chief of Oklahoma Today (1997-2011), preceded by an internship at Harper’s Magazine and freelance work for The American Benefactor, Worth, George, Mirabella, New York, Green, and Harper’s Magazine’s Franklin Square Press Fools for Scandal: How the Media Invented Whitewater. Her first job in journalism was at the Enid News & Eagle (1994-1995), as a general assignment reporter. McCune's most recent publishing project is Love Can Be: A Literary Collection About Our Animals (Kirkpatrick Foundation, 2018), which she co-edited with Teresa Miller. The book was distributed by the University of Oklahoma Press. McCune has often credited a number of influencers in her work, including Christian Keesee (chairman, Kirkpatrick Foundation), Steven Walker (principal, Walker Creative), Joan Henderson (former publisher, Oklahoma Today), and Lewis Lapham (editor, Lapham's Quarterly).
