Jerzyk looking to sell Rhode Island's Future

As I report in my story on the RI blogosphere, Matt Jerzyk, the leading light of the Rhode Island's Future blog, is looking to sell it. Matt, who is about to graduate from Roger Williams Law School (and as I note in my piece, is a friend and a Phoenix contributor), elaborated this way:

For me, I have given 3 years of my life to getting RI Future off the ground and I am ready to pass the torch sometime in the near future. In fact, I have been talking with interested parties about selling the blog. Ideally, I would like to sell it to someone who will maintain the character and the integrity of the blog.

My goal is to be able to leave the blog and to have nothing change. To accomplish this, I have been trying to find new writers who can reduce my posting workload (shameless plug: contact me if you want to write!) . . . .

I am open to all possibilitites with regard to the future of Rhode Island's future. I have heard suggestions ranging from an outright sale to another media organization to the formation of a cooperative of current writers and friends in the progressive community to the idea of a young entrepreneur or current blogger who wants to pick up where I left off. I am currently in "listening" mode and trying to figure out a solution that will be best for RI Future and the progressive blogosphere as a whole.
