The “Mackinac On Michigan Show” is a policy-focused show bringing in guests to talk about the latest on what’s happening in Lansing and Washington D.C.
The Frank Beckmann Center for Journalism will keep citizens informed with accurate news and analysis which exposes government overreach and abuse. An informed people are essential to holding government officials accountable and shaping sound public policy.
We support this mission on many fronts, including:

Advanced Media and Marketing
We produce videos, podcasts and other content across all platforms, reaching audiences wherever they may be.
Michigan Capitol Confidential
CapCon is a daily news site reporting on government activity, with a unique focus on policies that affect individual liberty and economic freedom.
The Next Generation of The Beckmann Center hosts and trains an intern class each year, offering a unique opportunity to future journalists interested in the principles of freedom and individual liberty. This 10-week program immerses these aspiring professionals in the process of generating story ideas, cultivating sources, writing, editing and publishing.
