Culture11, also stylized Culture 11, was a short-lived right-leaning American online magazine active from August 27, 2008, until January 27, 2009. It portrayed itself as a "center-right Slate", with a focus on cultural and media criticism.{{Cite news |last=McArdle |first=Megan |author-link=Megan McArdle | url=https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2008/08/culture-at-11/4028/ |title=Culture at 11 |work=The Atlantic |date=August 27, 2008}}{{Cite news |title=Heresy on the Right |work=Columbia Journalism Review | url=https://www.cjr.org/feature/heresy_on_the_right.php |last=Adler | first=Ben |date=May–June 2009}}{{Cite news |last=Homans | first=Charles | url=https://washingtonmonthly.com/features/2009/0903.homans.html | title=Culture Shock |work=The Washington Monthly |date=March–April 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090402182100/https://washingtonmonthly.com/features/2009/0903.homans.html |archive-date=2009-04-02}} It was founded by William Bennett and run by David Kuo.
