Everything that happened on Twitter during our event with the mayoral candidates
The forum organized by AL DIA News with Philly’s mayoral candidates was truly a success and on the following day was taken up by many of the city’s media, such as the Philadelphia Inquirer, Billy Penn or Newsworks.
In my 23 years in #PHL I had never seen before Multicultural issues so at the center of a Forum w Mayoral candidates. #ALDIAlive

The event was also a huge sensation on social networks on Monday night, especially on Twitter where, at the time, with #aldialive it even became one of the trending topics in the city.

Throughout the day, over 173 people participated in the conversation that accumulated over 900 messages. Over half a million people could have seen at least one of the tweets sent to #aldialive amounting to over four point five million views.
The debate also included the real time participation of the candidate’s own profiles, used by such candidates to comment on the social networks while they awaited their turn to talk to the public gathered at the Pipeline.It's about who's actually done things to help the community. That's what I've done for 45 years. #ALDIALive

Though the majority of tweets were sent from Philadelphia, #aldialive also received messages from Portland, Denver, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom.
In addition to the hashtags used throughout the elections on social networks to discuss the race, such as #PHL2015 and #NextMayorPHL, the most repeated words were “candidates”, “mayoral”, “police” and “questions”.
The broadcasting of the forum on the Internet, carried out by AL DIA and Temple University’s Center for Public Interest Journalism, enabled almost one hundred others to also be able to enjoy the event on their computers. If you still haven’t seen it, you still can.
