As "Donny the Punk", Donaldson was already a respected writer and personality in the [[Punk subculture|punk]] and [[Anti-racism|anti-racist]] [[skinhead]] [[subculture]]s. He had published in [[punk zines]] such as ''[[Maximumrocknroll]]'', ''[[Flipside (fanzine)|Flipside]]'' and ''[[J.D.s]]''. In the mid-1980s, Donny was the chief organizer of The Alternative Press & Radio Council (APRC), which brought together members of the punk community (such as fanzine editors and college radio DJs) from [[New York City]], [[New Jersey]], and [[Connecticut]].

This co-operative group met on Sundays before the weekly [[CBGB]] Sunday [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]] matinees and organized several benefit concerts. The group published a newsletter, and released a compilation LP on [[Mystic Records]] in 1986, which was entitled ''Mutiny On The Bowery.'' The compilation featured live recordings from the group's benefit concerts. Among other active members of the APRC were WFMU-FM DJ Pat Duncan, ''Maximumrocknroll'' columnist [[Mykel Board]] and ''[[Jersey Beat]]'' editor Jim Testa.

Donaldson was associate editor of the ''[[Encyclopedia of Homosexuality]]'' (Garland Publishing, 1990). He was editor-in-chief of a concise edition of the encyclopedia, which remains unpublished.
