publicizing
Making widely known
Publicizing is the act of making something known to the public—spreading information, promoting an event, or bringing attention to a cause.
The word implies deliberate effort to reach an audience: The campaign focused on publicizing the new policy.
It differs from merely announcing; publicizing suggests sustained or strategic communication to generate awareness.
