Public interest is a term used to denote political movements and organizations that are in the public interest—supporting general public and civic causes, in opposition of private and corporate ones (particularistic goals). The public interest can also mean more generally what is considered beneficial to the public.

To foretell that a pet cause promoted by a given organization or movement would be beneficial to the public or would bring perverse effects instead.
