Morphology
The meaning 'notice or interest from the press and other outlets' is directly and compositionally derived from 'media' (broadcasting institutions/platforms) + 'attention' (notice, mental focus). This noun+noun collocation follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun media attention creates a clear image: reporters, cameras and microphones all looking at one person or event. When the media give their attention, they make people notice that person or event, so the phrase means 'notice or interest' from newspapers, TV and online outlets.
