Sam Schechter compiled and edited Public Relations Case Studies: Strategies & Actions from a variety of sources, but most of the content is the writing of former students. For two of the case studies, Sam is also a co-author with one or more former students.

Sam is a faculty member in the Communications Department at Douglas College. This is his fourth OER textbook in the field of applied communications.
