Sy Safransky

Sy Safransky is editor and publisher of The Sun Magazine, a monthly literary magazine out of Chapel Hill, N.C. Last summer, after an issue of the magazine was printed and ready to be sent out, Sy realized it contained a serious mistake: the magazine had printed the name of a contributing writer who had asked for his name to be withheld.

A lot of money was at stake, so Sy and his staff spent days deciding what to do. The dilemma deepened when they realized the writer, a prisoner, was on death row for a horrific crime.
