Morphology
The meaning 'making something widely known' follows directly from combining 'public' (open or accessible to everyone) with 'exposure' (the revealing of information). This adj+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase public exposure is like shining a bright light on something so many people can see it: public means the group of people and exposure means being shown. That's why it means 'making something widely known' or 'open to public discussion'.
