To publish something or make it publicly available

"Put out" is remarkably versatile.
It can have a literal meaning. "Put out the cat for the night." And the related figurative usage: "He put out feelers to see if anyone would offer him a job."
To inconvenience: "Would it put you out if I borrowed your car?"
To be annoyed: "It really puts me out that he keeps asking to borrow my car.
Baseball term of art: "He tried to turn a single into a double, but he was put out at second."
Render unconscious: "Don't worry about the operation. They'll put you out with anesthesia and you won't feel a thing."
Of anything burning, to extinguish. A fire, a cigaret.
Vulgar slang: of a woman, agree to have sex.
Of a newspaper, to publish.
For publish or make publicly known (particularly rumors), you may be thinking of "put it about."
You can't use the phrasal put out here.

put as used means:
3) to cause to be in a certain position or place; place; set ⇒ "put the box here"
