Tassoni started the Common Ground media outlets eleven years ago to provide an outlet for organized unions to have a media voice. After issuing a print edition every month for twelve years, he branched off to radio and hosted an hour show every Monday on AM 790 WPRV for the past eleven years.
The show included union, civic and business leaders with the goal of delivering a common ground point of view to everyone in Rhode Island.
