Morphology
The meaning 'an expert on media' is directly and transparently built from 'media' (communication platforms) + 'guru' (respected specialist), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's meaning. This noun+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and involves no idiomatic shift, making it readily understandable to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Media guru combines media, meaning news, TV and the internet, and guru, a wise teacher who guides people. One common idea is that it suggests a guide who shows the way in media, so the phrase means 'an expert' who gives advice about communication.
