  • Patrick Range McDonald is an American journalist, author, and activist. He has won, among other honors, the Los Angeles Press Club's "Journalist of the Year" award and the "Public Service" award from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. He worked as a staff writer for LA Weekly for six years (2007– 2013), where he was an investigative journalist. Before that, he wrote for such alternative weeklies as the Village Voice, the New York Press, the Westchester County Weekly, and New Times-LA. McDonald co-wrote former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan's memoir, The Mayor: How I Turned Around Los Angeles after Riots, an Earthquake, and the OJ Simpson Murder Trial. The book was a New York Times and Los Angeles Times best-seller. He also wrote a book about Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the world's largest HIV/AIDS medical-care nonprofit that operates in 45 countries and serves more than 1.6 million patients. The book is titled Righteous Rebels: AIDS Healthcare Foundation's Crusade to Change the World. In a review, The Lancet, the global health journal, noted: "McDonald has managed a deft balancing act with this book: on one hand providing a fascinating inside view of a billion-dollar non-profit organisation, while on the other hand providing a history of both the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and the AIDS crisis, full of human interest and compelling portraits of the major players in the organisation." McDonald was later the historical consultant for Keeping the Promise: AHF 30 Years, a documentary narrated by actress Meryl Streep. He is currently the advocacy journalist for Housing Is A Human Right, a housing justice organization based in Los Angeles. His work there earned him the "Best Activism Journalism" award from the Los Angeles Press Club. In 2022, McDonald wrote a short book, Selling Off California: The Untold Story, about the powerful alliances and devastating policies that fuel the housing affordability and homelessness crises in California. He also pursues projects in TV and film. McDonald holds a B.A. in History from Fordham University and an M.A. in Journalism from New York University. He was born in New Jersey and lives in California. (en)
