NEWSPAPER FEATURES

In the early 1980s, Tony began creating weekly newspaper features for The McNaught Syndicate (an American newspaper syndicate). These included Magicword, Spot-A-Pix (along with his dad Anthony), and Trivia Treat (which he had taken over from his mom & dad - the feature's original creators).

In the late 1980s, McNaught was bought by Tribune Media Services, an innovative entrepreneurial business unit of Tribune Company. Headquartered in Chicago, TMS continues to distribute Tallarico's features. Eventually a trivia/maze spot and a

bi-lingual circle-a-word were added to the weekly features. While some features eventually ended, his bi-lingual feature called Word Salsa took off.

Within months of its introduction Word Salsa became a daily feature.
