Personal websites like the one designed for this unit may give viewers an idea of what you produce on a professional level, but it doesn't enhance journalism in the sense that it is an individualistic portrayal of information from your personal point of view. I believe the blog format enhances the viewing of journalistic material far better than a website achieves, at least on an individual level. If you were working for a newspaper that displayed printed material online it might be useful to know how to hyperlink material which cannot be done on paper.
Both the use of multimedia and hyperlinking can enhance the amount of information a viewer can research but through a personal website I find it difficult to hyperlink viewers away from my page if the whole idea is to keep them on your website viewing your material. The other major problem is that because there are so many different information providers already on the internet you have a large amount of content to compete with.
