public's
Belonging to all
Public's is the possessive form of public, used when the general population collectively owns, experiences, or is characterized by something.
It treats the public as a singular entity capable of possession: the public's right to know, the public's perception of the scandal, the public's appetite for celebrity gossip.
The form appears frequently in journalism and political discourse when attributing opinions, reactions, or interests to society at large.
