publicly
In plain view
Publicly means in a manner open to general observation or knowledge: She publicly apologized for her remarks.
It contrasts with privately—what happens publicly is visible to others, whether that's speaking at a press conference, trading stocks on an exchange, or being humiliated in front of witnesses.
A publicly held company has shares available for purchase by the general public.
