History and profile
Rhode Island Monthly was founded in 1987 by Daniel J. Kaplan and Konrad L. Schultz. The first issue was published in April 1988. From 1990 to 1992, Rhode Island Island Monthly was owned by Communications International, the parent of Connecticut magazine; it was then sold back to its founders. In 1997, the magazine was acquired by The Providence Journal. In 2009, it was sold to its publisher, John J. Palumbo.{{cite web|url=http://www.pbn.com/ProJo-to-sell-RI-Monthly-to-publisher,43661 |title=ProJo to sell R.I.

Best of Rhode Island
The "Best of Rhode Island" is a group of awards given by Rhode Island Magazine in an annual issue. These awards are akin to the "Best of Boston" but are not nearly as numerous.
The awards are given in a wide range of categories that vary from year-to-year ad hoc. Recent awards include best restaurants, best local band, best hiking trail, best bars to people watch, best ice cream places, and best vintage store.[https://www.rimonthly.com/2021-best-of-rhode-island-readers-poll/ Best of RI 2021]
Rhode Island Red Awards
A recent addition to the magazine, these now-yearly awards recognize "the weirdest, dumbest, most outrageous" moments of the preceding year.{{Cite web |url=http://www.rimonthly.com/contents/index.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2006-12-18 |archive-date=2006-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060418042323/http://www.rimonthly.com/contents/index.html |url-status=dead }}
