Summary/Abstract: This research examines if it is possible that a successful media product, that is inspired by a classic novel, can trigger the book publishers’ interest in reissuing it. A quantitative empirical analysis was conducted based on 80 book publishers, obtained through an online questionnaire. The results of this study show that a successful media product cannot stimulate the republishing of a classic novel, that is named after. This study examines also the factors that influence the book publishing business when it comes to paying in advance for a journalistic investigation and publishing it.
