go-to media expert
person to go to when expert advice is needed regarding media


Explanation:
you have parsed it wrong as "media" is an adjective here.

So it's "go-to media expert"
"10 Ways To Become A Go-To Media Expert In Your Field"

"Go-to" simply has a literal meaning...you go to that person or that thing or place as your first selection or choice

so here it means

in the field of media you can become the expert people will go to when they want advice

agree  jccantrell: This is right, it is the 'go-to expert' in media matters. The guy who knows the most and who you would ask when there is a task or problem in this area.
5 hrs
  -> Many thanks...yes, I tried to explain in simplest way as it will be translated from English
agree  Björn Vrooman: This is EN-EN: The asker sought an explanation beyond replacing one term with another (so that he needs an explanation of the term put in its place). The only go-to answer (couldn't resist that pun).
