In the digital era, civil society organizations no longer limit themselves to conventional social functions; many now utilize digital media as an instrument for carrying out an intermediary function, namely bridging communication between society and social issues, public policy, or other institutions. This study aims to analyze how Harmoni Muslim Nusantara (HMN), a youth-based civil society organization established during the Covid-19 pandemic, utilizes media campaigns as an instrument in carrying out this intermediary function.
This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach using the participant observation method, as the author was directly involved in HMN's Media and Publication Division from 2021 to 2024. Data were collected through field notes, informal accounts, and documentation of the organization's activities and media content, then analyzed using three indicators of the intermediary function: bridging social communication, disseminating public information, and building community participation.
The findings show that HMN carries out these three functions simultaneously through a combination of public discussion forums and digital content production. HMN bridges social communication through discussion forums on complex policy issues, disseminates public information through digital content packaged to be communicative and accessible to young audiences, and builds community participation by encouraging active audience engagement, particularly among young voters, in safeguarding the quality of democracy. This study concludes that media campaigns function as an integrated instrument through which HMN carries out its intermediary role as a youth-based civil society organization in the digital era.
