On Sunday November 8, The Amherst Wire and The Daily Collegian collaborated to bring live coverage of the Massachusetts Senate Forum hosted by the League of Women Voters and co-sponsored by WFCR 88.5 FM. The event took place at Stockbridge Hall in Bowker Auditorium at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Five of the six candidates were present to discuss topics ranging from the economy to the war in Afghanistan and the committees they would sit on if elected.
The Amherst Wire embedded the live streaming video from the Daily Collegian and hosted their own twitter feed and live chat for readers to discuss the event.
This was the first time that Amherst Wire reported live from an event on campus in this way. You can review the chat log below of all the comments and topics that were brought up during the debate.
