I'm going to say that it had to be Info-Chan at least originally, for the following reasons -


 * The mysterious tapes say the Journalist's daughter spent most of her time on her computer. The only two girls at Akademi high who perfer computers over human contact are Pippi and Info-Chan. The latter hides inside the ever-locked Info Club, where she can be seen working on a 6 screen mega-computer. This also excludes Kokona Haruka as she is a social butterfly and does not appear to have any above-average computer knowledge.


 * The Journalist's daughter bought her computer herself and seemed to have a lot of money for her age. It is known that Info-Chan needs the panty shots in order to sell them to boys and to blackmail girls. This is very consistent.


 * The described actions of the Journalist's daughter are very consistent with the evil persona. Currently the only


 * The original incarnation of Info-Chan used to be the head of the school's newspaper, which makes her a journalist herself. This has changed some time ago but the background story (i.e. the school's history) has never changed AFAIK.


 * Info-Chan was planned to be the final rival and it would have been very likely to have the final rival as somthing more than just a competition over Senpai, someone who has a personal grudge against Yandere-chan that goes way back. It all makes perfect sense.

This leads me to the following conclusion: Either Info-Chan is the Journalist's daughter, in which case she will still play a role at the end of the final game (even if not being the final rival herself), or she was originally planned to be the Journalist's daughter until her role was completely changed, in which case she will remain only as a utility. In this case the current Journalist's daughter is still unimplemented.

Anyway, I am convinced that the Journalist's daughter was originally Info-Chan and currently is one of the following three:


 * Is still Info-Chan


 * Is a still unimplemented character, who will be inserted in a future build and is not any of the girls in the existing game (at least as they are today)


 * (unlikely) The entire background story will also change with the mysterious tapes revised or removed.
