Kultz is an independent non-profit regional online media outlet publishing cultural information and satire. Since 2020, it has produced podcasts and videos and published columns, features, investigative articles, reviews, and satirical content from the cultural and creative sectors in Greater Central Switzerland.

The cultural journalism offered by Kultz shall not be tied to current affairs. It embraces a broader, non-elitist understanding of culture, including social culture, video games, popular culture, nightlife culture, commercial culture, political culture, tourism, gastronomy, and sports.

Kultz has generated income through donations, memberships, and grants. By running the online media outlet, the association behind Kultz, Der Verleg, aims to promote reporting about culture and cultural mediation in the Greater Central Switzerland region, add value to regional cultural journalism, and contribute to a satirical culture.

The media outlet is part of a national network of local media start-ups (Bajour and Tsüri) that publish and share content on We.publish's digital infrastructure.
