It is fantastic to see the ASPO putting out a media guide! Congratulations!

I agree with Gail. Most media will want to create high quality charts and graphics. And having the data for each of your graphics available would really help (and perhaps ASPO should spring for a graphic designer to polish up the graphics in this guide).

My other recommendation would be to take a look at the Scientific American article by Campbell and Laherrere. That article does a nice job of sketching multiple lines of evidence supporting peak oil. HL is just one.

Here is one on line version

Of those, I think it is very valuable to show that discoveries have been falling since the 1960s. People hear about new oil field discoveries every day and feel that peak oil cannot possibly be true. But once you can see that we are not finding nearly as much oil as we are using, then those stories about Jack 2 wells become much, much less convincing.

You might also consider including a chart showing the relative sizes of oil, coal, natural gas, and wind and solar just so people understand that the transition will be time consuming and difficult.

Here is such a graph from Wikipedia.
