What is secondary public?

Secondary public refers to a group of individuals or entities that are indirectly affected by or have a stake in a public issue, policy, or service. Unlike the primary public, which is directly impacted, the secondary public includes those who may have an interest or influence over the outcomes but are not the main target audience or participants. This group can include stakeholders such as community members, advocacy groups, or organizations that may be affected by decisions and actions taken by the primary public or governing bodies.
